Appomattox Surrender Furniture

This morning I got to help take these off exhibit for photographing. Grant sat in the leather backed chair and Lee in the cane backed chair. They didn't really need me to take them off, since it turned out they had more hands than they thought they would, but I wasn't going to miss out on it. This is the kind of thing that I LOVE about my job.
