The surrender ceremony has become a legend unto itself. First, General Cornwallis was not present, supposedly being ill. As a result, his second-in-command, Brig. General Charles O'Hara, was the British representative. He first attempted to surrender to French General Comte de Rochambeau, but Rochambeau refused and pointed him to General Washington. Washington's only reaction was to ask him to surrender to his deputy, Maj. General Benjamin Lincoln.
May 1781, British Lt. General Charles Earl Corn
