The book is on the lower level, where the ranger station is. A common misconception is that people believe this is the site where the Civil War ended, but it's not. It actually ended about 200 feet west of here in the nearby McLean House. Taken from NPS, "On April 9, 1865, the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia in the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House, Virginia signaled the end of the nation's largest war. Two important questions about its future were answered. Could the nation survive a civil war intact, and would that nation exist without slavery? The answer to both was yes and a new nation was born."
