Grant is another amazing guy. A complete, total failure living in threadbare clothes on skid row one day, then within a pretty short time, commanding an army.

He was an impressive guy, and knew how to lead. I think having lived on the margins for a while as a failure, he didn’t care much for the trappings of power. He was, by all accounts, a pretty unassuming guy.

Yeah, the more I read about Grant, the more I like him.
