A sheep herding boy tell Will the war is over, that it ended at Appomattox (April 9, 1865). No one would have thought the war was over at this point. Johnston did not surrender to Sherman until April 26, 1865, at Bennett Place, North Carolina. Forest surrendered May 9, at Gainsville, Alabama, while other smaller Confederate forces east of the Mississippi continued to surrender in May and June. West of the Mississippi (which would have been of greater concern to the characters in this movie since they were out of Missouri), the war continued into May, when the last land battle was fought at Palmito Ranch (May 13), near Brownsville, Texas. Over the next 6 weeks, the remaining Confederate forces surrendered In Louisiana (Kirby Smith: May 26), and Indian Territory (Stand Watie: June 23). So, as there were still armies throughout the South that continued to fight for another month, and were only going to surrender over the next 10 weeks, NO one would have thought the war was over in early April, 1865. But many continue to think the war ended when Lee Surrendered to Grant, on April 9, and evidently, so did the writers, director, and producer of this movie.
