Excerpt from Ulysses S. GrantThose who think that in our civil war there were other officers in both armies who were Grant's superiors in some points of generalship will hardly dispute that, taking all in all, he was supreme among the gen erals on the side of the Union. He whom Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and Meade saw promoted to be their commander, not only without envy, but with high gratification, under whom they all served with cordial confidence and enthusiasm, cannot have been esteemed by them unfit for the distinction. If these great soldiers then and always ac claimed him worthy to be their leader, it is unbecoming for others, and especially for men who are not soldiers, to contradict their judgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
