What rank insignia did Robert E. Lee wear during the war?
Lee wore colonel's rank insignia during his surrender to Grant. Since being placed in command of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862, Lee has held the rank of "general" which, of course, makes him senior in rank to the lieutenant generals under his command (Jackson, Longstreet, etc..) Nevertheless, Lee continued to wear a simple coat with the 3 stars on the collar, which is the rank insignia of a Conferderate colonel. The coat worn at the surrender is believed to be a separate coat that Lee kept for formal occasions and likely was worn rarely, if at all, during the war. He also woar a sash and his sword at the surrender, which he never wore day-to-day. Grant, on the other hand, wore his equally simple private's coat with the 3-star lieutenant general's shoulder epaulets that he had worn throughout the Overland campaign.
Is it true that the Civil War started on land owned by the Mclean family and that they also owned the land where the surrender was signed?
Yes. General Beauregard actually used Wilmer Mclean's farm house for his headquarters during the first battle of Bull Run. After that Mclean figured Northern Virginia was going to be a dangerous place during the war so he sold out and moved his family to Appomattox. In one of the great ironies of history his house was the meeting place for Grant and Lee. Michael Montagne
