If you have a "dial up" internet connection, please allow a few minutes for the images to load. Thanks I was recently notified that a set of my documents professionally framed, was sold, (as reproductions of course), in a Texas auction for almost $600. These reproductions are so good that they were examined by Federal agents a couple years ago. When they realized I was selling them as copies for displaying only, they made the statement that "they were some of the best repo's they had seen". That makes me very proud since I put a lot of time and effort in them.
THIS SALE FOR
$24.95 IS NOT FRAMED Below are a few of the actual and unsolicited e-mails related to the Robert E. Lee Surrender documents I have listed in the past months. I take pride in providing more than you expect.

ONE OF SEVERAL ATTORNEYS.. FROM A DOCTOR:.... FROM AN ATTORNEY: My reply--WOW $190, are you serious? Yeah, but the $190 framing makes it look absolutely GORGEOUS -
a beautiful --Matthew Dear Jerry - I received my
packet of the Lee surrender materials, & I was impressed with the
quality. As one who has handled a good many original documents of this
era, the impression they give, especially if one follows your simple

General Lee's Flag ROBERT E. LEE, General CSARobert E. Lee has to make a choice Informed people of both the North and the South have admired General Robert Edward Lee for almost 150 years. Contrary to belief Lee never owned slaves and while he didn't take a public stance it is written he was ideologically and morally against slavery. When the War started, the Virginian rejected Winfield Scott’s request to command the Union’s field forces and resigned his position as leader of the U. S. 1st Cavalry the day after Virginia seceded. "With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword…" Lee in a letter to his sister, April 20, 1861 My great-grandfather Gideon Miller and countless of southern Americans fought and hundreds of thousands died because of what they perceived to be a duty to protect their families and land they called home. I have a feeling that it was the same in the North, most of the grunts of the war probably didn't know what they were fighting for. I know it's not politically correct to take pride in the confederacy and people of the south are still looked down on, but I am proud of my great-grandfather who had to go all the way to Raleigh N. C. from a little farm 100 miles away to join the Confederate Army. Gideon was only a boy at the time but was present for many battles fought during the almost 4 years he spent in General Robert E. Lee's Army. He was not a hero as far as I know, but neither was he a coward. After more than three years of war my great-grandfather, being with General Lee when he surrendered to General Grant, came home carrying a release from Appomattox, several other war papers, southern money and one of the original field copies of the Confederate States last official order, Order No. 9, signed R. E. Lee Gen. While I have no way of knowing who actually penned my document, I do know it was brought back from Appomattox by my great grand-father at the end of the "War". I offer for sale a Limited number of packets consisting of a "visual" clone copy of the following, "for displaying":
All copies are made from the actual documents in my personal collection which are guaranteed to be authentic, my original Confederate notes are crisp, unfolded and considered to be un-circulated. Since all these documents or notes were either hand written or the blanks were filled in by hand. There are no other documents exactly like these in the world, guaranteed. While these documents when framed, are indistinguishable from the originals by an ordinary person, they are sold as copies to be displayed and I do not represent them as originals. However they DO NOT have "copy" on them anywhere. These digital copies are produced on 100% cotton paper front and back (so you can see what the backs look like) with almost exact colors, paper thickness as well as script.
I have had the copies below hanging in my place of
business for 20 years with literally thousands of people looking at them
and thinking they were the real thing.
Many teachers have bought these to use as "Civil war show and tell". You will receive everything shown below in the frame except the frame. ALL DOCUMENTS ARE COPIES OF MY ORIGINALS, YOU DO NOT GET ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. NOW FRAMED SETS AVAILABLE; FRAMED WITH SOLID WOOD FRAMES STAINED A RICH DARK ROSEWOOD.
Below is an excerpt from General Lee's Son's book and the translation of the Surrender document. ****** Quotes taken from "Recollection of Letters" by General Robert E. Lee's Son
General Long graphically pictures the last scenes: "It is impossible to describe the anguish of the troops when it was known that the surrender of the army was inevitable. Of all their trials, this was the greatest and hardest to endure. There was no consciousness of shame; each heart could boast with honest pride that its duty had been done to the end, and that still unsullied remained its honour. When, after his interview with General Grant, General Lee again appeared, a shout of welcome instinctively went up from the army. But instantly recollecting the sad occasion that brought him before them, their shouts sank into silence, every hat was raised, and the bronzed faces of thousands of grim warriors were bathed in tears. As he rode Slowly along the lines, hundreds of his devoted veterans pressed around the noble chief, trying to take his hand, touch his person, or even lay their hands upon his horse, thus exhibiting for him their great affection. The General then with head bare, and tears flowing freely down his manly cheeks, bade adieu to the army." In a few words: "Men, we have fought through the war together; I have done my best for you; my heart is too full to say more," he bade them good-bye and told them to return to their homes and become good citizens. The next day he issued his farewell address, the last order published to the army: The ink has faded after 140 years and the writing flare people used back then with the "dip pens", make the document a little hard to read. This is the translation. ******** THE SURRENDER "HQ Army N. Va 10th April 1865 General Orderý No 9 ý After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the army of N. Va has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them.
But feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past service have endeared them to their country.
By the terms of the agreement officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the conscientiousness of duty faithfully performed and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection.
With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell. Signed R.E. Lee General" PRICES No extra S/H on 2nd or more Packets (UNFRAMED ONLY).

Hi Jerry,
Thank you so much for offering the Civil War document copies for
auction on ebay. I was thrilled when I opened the package. They were
even more beautiful than I imagined. I had originally planned to
give them as a Christmas gift to my father but I really don't think
I can part with them! I'm currently working on a scrap book for him
with all the information and pictures I can find on our ancestors
who served (personal info, regiment info, battles participated in,
etc). That may be all he gets!! HAHAHA! If I do break down and give
him the wonderful documents I received from you (and I'm weak so I
probably will!) I will definitely have to have a set for myself.
Thanks again for all the work you put into making them look so
authentic and for the tips you sent on how to display them. You have
a very satisfied customer here!
Sincerely,
Geneva
Hi, just to let you know
how much I love the Documents. I'ts like looking at the originals. I
have a copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg address and this will make a
great companion for it. I thank you so much for making this
available to the public(me in particular:);)) Thanks again, Michael
Jerry, Just a quick note to tell you I've received my documents from you. Thanks for a fast delivery and a great looking piece of history. I do appreciate people who take to the time and effort to make something like this available to other people to enjoy. My documents will be framed soon. I also may be getting more for Christmas presents as well. Thanks again for sharing. Jerry: Please email the address I purchased one previously and will purchase two more. Super! SEM Dear Jerry Thank you very much for the various documents. As you state, they really are excellent once cut, folded and mounted. You are extremely fortunate to have so many items from your great grandfather. Obviously the copy of Order No 9 must be exceptionally rare outside of a national collection. Any war is tragic but civil war is perhaps the cruelest. Support for the confederacy may be very non PC these days, but the south, like the north, fought courageously for what they believed in. The north may have won on strength of numbers and the industrial clout, but the valour, courage and pure tactical brilliance of the south can not be ignored. Lee was exceptional. Your great grandfather was lucky to survive, the 33rd North Carolina seem to have been present at nearly every major battle in the eastern theatre. I am not sure to what extent musicians served in combat or whether their duties were restricted to medical orderlies when not boosting moral with their playing. Do your ancestors papers give any indication? Once again for these great pieces of history, they have added an entirely new dimension to my collection. With all best wishes. Robin Mr. Pegram Dear Mr. Pegram, Thanks again, Shane
Dear Jerry,
I am stunned by the realism of these
documents! They are everything that you said they would be.
Thank you for finding a way to share these
family treasures with the rest of us. You must have worked very hard
to get those papers & money to that high of a standard of quality.
I also want to thank you for sharing your
family history & the photo of your Great-Grandfather. I appreciate
that.
Thank you for being such an honorable
man...the world definitely needs more like you!
With fondest regards,
Rebecca

Robin This seller not only delivered beautiful documents but also found I had overpaid and not only notified me of the mistake but insisted on sending me a check for the difference. I would buy again and highly recommend this seller. Thanks so much Dear Jerry, I have received the documents. Thank you very much for them they are great. They don't look like copies. They are very good quality and I thank you once again. I gave them as a gift and they are very pleased with them. Thank you. Sincerely, Rebecca Hi Jerry! This is Tracey again. Today I received my missing document. Once again, I was pleased by your punctuality, but I must admit that I was taken completely by surprise to find that you had also sent me a complete new set plus the document I was missing before (not to mention the hand written note of apology). I am truly grateful, and would like to say that you are definitely the best person I have ever conducted business with. AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hello , I received my documents on Friday. I am really anxious to get
them Received the documents in today's mail. They look great!! Can't
wait to Hi Jerry, Jerry: Jerry- I received the documents today...they are exceptional. Thank you so
much for Take Care and Thanks Again! Kelly
Oh my God!! These are FABULOUS!!! What an
awesome job on the copies-they do look authentic! Thank you for
sharing this marvelous piece of history with us!!!!!!! I hope when
my daughter is in school she will be able to show these off since
they are such an important piece of American history.

Dear Jerry,
I received the cloned copies of the Civil War
documents today. I am really impressed with the authentic look as if
they were the originals. I will frame them and I commend you on your
honesty and guarantee of satisfication. It is really great to
have a seller with your of caliber on Ebay.

I received my documents in excellent
shape and am really impressed! They
look so original! I'm going to have
mine framed for my grandson who is
extremely interested in the Civil War
period right now. He had at least
5 ancestors (on his maternal side alone)
who fought in this war.
And the Confederate money looks real
too - I have one real bill and except
for wrinkles, fading, etc. they
cannot be distinguished one from the other.
Again, thank you for such an excellent
product.

Jerry,
Thank
you so much for the wonderful copy of this historic document.. It
is much more than what I expected.
I do have
a question about what is written on the back of the surrender
document. The following is located at the bottom of the page if you
flip it over. It looks like it says "Gen Lee address to the
(something) at (something)
On the
other end it looks like the word Appomattox but I am not sure.
Thanks
for any info that you can provide...
Jim
