After General Robert E Lee had surrendered, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee rode away from Appomattox. While riding through a lane he met an old North Carolina soldier.
"Ho, there," cried General Lee, "Where are you going?"
"I've been off on a furlough and am now going back to join Gen. Bob Lee," replied the soldier.
"You needn't go back, but can throw you gun away and return home, for Lee's surrendered."
"Lee's Surrendered?"
"That's what I said," said General Lee.
"It must have been that damned Fitz Lee, then Rob Lee would never surrender," and the old soldier put on a look of contempt and walked on.
