註釋
"Appomattox is narrative history, told from the viewpoints of the presidents, generals, soldiers, and civilians who were there, individuals who with the exception of Sergeant Thomas McDermott, really existed. With that exception my story is historically correct...I’ve condensed some of the action and given certain individuals thoughts and words that seemed reasonable to me and which, I believe add to the overall picture. It’s also likely that I’ve made their manner of speaking less formal than the words those individuals reported in their reminiscences. Men are inclined to be less formal on the battlefield than they will later recall. The character I assign to each of them reflects my own thoughts about that individual”—Preface.
