Abstract:
Henry Armand London, a North Carolinian, played two unique roles at Appomattox. He carried the message calling on Cox's Carolina Brigade to make the last charge in Lee's army and he carried the last order ever given in Lee's army which was the order to cease firing after Lee had surrendered. A private at the time, London went on to become a distinguished legislator, lawyer, and editor in North Carolina after the Civil War.
