> What was General Grant really like? <

I actually enjoyed his company. He wasn’t at all the drunkard I expected him to be. Now General Custer, that was another story. He was always saying things like “Those Indians, no way could they pull off an ambush against me.” I told George that kind of attitude would get him into trouble some day.

I’d say more, but it’s time for my nap.

Should have pressed George on the benefits of the Gatling gun.
