        During the war there is no evidence he was ever drunk when he was on active campaign. Between campaigns, maybe.

        Not just a bench. Those are pews pulled out of a nearby church.

        Did a little research and apparently the church is the Massaponax Baptist Church (with the photos taken shortly after the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House).

        There was a man. For all his failings, he was committed to a more just United States that would in some way rectify the wrongs of slavery. His physical courage and tenacity in the cause were awesome. This picture is a rebuke to today’s tiny president and his bone spurs.

        Interviewing Ron Chernow, the author of Grant, Monday, 4:30pm ET on Facebook Live for #TalksAtGS. Gen'l Grant was a late bloomer w/ latent strengths & apparent flaws - gives us all hope for ourselves. The period is a key inflection in US history & his story helps present it.

        I read H.W. Brands’s biography of Grant a year or so ago. Looking forward to reading Chernow’s.

        Only saw that later on. He's got that right leg scrunched up all right. You can see the boot under second from right guy's left arm.
