Confederates at Appomattox

[Tom Abilene]

Has anyone done a study of who and what units were present when General Lee surrendered?

At that point I understand that much of the unit cohesion of the ANV had broken down. In any case, at this point the ANV didn't seem to be keeping accurate records so there really isn't any way to be sure.

I have taken the NPS parole records and using spreadsheets broken them down alphabetically, by state their unit was from, and converted those to word files.

Oddly enough, the Federal parole lists are likely the most accurate source for which CSA units were still there.

It has been noted, that some units did not present themselves for parole. I need information on those units, if you know anything about them.
