Fields of Honor, Edwin C. Bearss (Custer & Longstreet)

"Well," said Custer, "no matter about General Grant. We demand the surrender be made to us. If you do not do so, we will renew hostilities."

Above is a re-post from a year ago due to conflicting information in the subject book. The original is better, though!:)

Page 406 Longstreet responds.

"How dare you come into our ranks when you know that a flag of truce is out! You are insulting General Grant! And you are insulting General Lee! Get out of here!"

Having been chastised in such a forceful manner, Custer turns his horse around and rides off without muttering a word.
