Grant was a proto-Eisenhower, a general who loved broad pressure and attrition. That's hardly brilliance. Sherman, on the other hand, was a proto-Patton.

If one studies and considers their actions and statements during the "Indian Wars", as individuals the become less appealing, but one cannot help but admire their dedication and sense of duty.
