How humiliating this must have been for Gen. Johnson, Brother Dale, but I'm sure he did it like a Man should do it. A lot of people nowadays can't even admit they're wrong about things

I don't think the horses were in near as good of shape as the pictures show. Knowing some of the old family southerners I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have surrendered unless their resources were completely sapped.
