From page 101, describing the fighting at Hatchers Run:

 

The 56th Virginia did not fall back with the rest of the brigade, but stood its ground. The bluecoats kept coming  with their officers leading out in front and their flags flying. They jumped into the rifle pits and fought hand to hand against the men of the 56th Virginia. There was a wild melee of clubbed muskets, clanging metal, and grappling men. According to Major E. M. Woodward of the 198th Pennsylvania, "it was a confused struggle of firing, thrusting, cutting." The 56th Virginia was surrounded and cut off.

 

From page 102:

 

The bluecoats captured nearly the entire 56th Virginia Regiment - about 135 officers and men. The other regiments of Huntons Brigade escaped and made their way safely to their starting point, the deep trenches on the White Oak Road near Hatchers Run where General Lee waited for them.

 

Only a handful of men in the 56th got away; the regiment almost ceased to exist as a unit. The few men in the 56th Virginia who escaped capture at Hatchers Run joined other regiments whenever and wherever they could and fought to the end. One or two men of the 56th were killed, wounded, or captured at every encounter between Hatchers Run and Appomattox.

 

On the morning of April 12, 1865, when Lee's army stacked arms for the last time on the rain soaked ground of Appomattox Court House, there were only 32 officers and men of the 56th Virginia left.

One captain, two lieutenants, one first sergeant, one quartermaster sergeant, one commissary sergeant, and twenty five privates surrendered and accepted paroles.
