So - Jackson is touring Europe. While Lincoln is campaigning for John C. Fremont’s presidential bid, U.S. Grant is trying to eke out a living in St. Louis, Robert E. Lee is scouting Comanche territory in Texas and Jefferson Davis is running the War Department in Washington. I think William T. Sherman is in the banking business in San Francisco, but that is just from skimming some pages. I should have details and a book report to share next month.

The John Sherman mentioned in the second sentence above is the younger brother of William Tecumseh Sherman.
