Hello! :)

B. Ely Parker

Although Ely Parker is best known for his role in drafting the terms of surrender that ended the Civil War, his life's work was far greater than that single act. This 'one real American,' as General Lee referred to him, was born destined for greatness, or so it had been prophesied.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!
