Continued from July 7 (reply #7). According to Smith’s footnote #106 below, Lincoln submitted Grant’s name to the Senate for promotion to BG yesterday, and that was noted in the NY Times today, August 1. Search as I might, I could not find that mention in the NYT. He is mentioned as a colonel in the story “Military Movements in Missouri,” in today’s NYT.
