For some unspeakable reason me and some of my friends are obsessed with Grant. I actually have the original newspaper that announced his death. It says how can a veteran general (even though he was lieutenant colonel by that time) bring an entire army into an ambush?

Truly. He was the epitome of an American alpha-male. He paid the price even though he really didn't deserved that kind of death.
