A D.C. cop once pulled him over then was covered with confusion when he realized who he'd stopped. "Officer, do your duty," said Grant. He always paid the piper for his dancing. And he was a brave man, refusing narcotics for pain from his throat cancer so he could finish his autobiography to support his family.
Full disclosure: I'm as southern as they come, but my cousin Julia Dent married U.S. Grant. She must have seen something in him.
‘Well, Grant did love an under-three-minute trotter, but when he got busted he was up front and honest about it.

You are absolutely correct on all counts in this post.
She did have one good eye, I understand. But true love sees with something more piercing than eyesight.
Up the road from me in Galena, they just put a new bronze statue of her on the grounds of the Grant home. Haven't seen it yet, but I understand it's quite well done.
Grant was a bad politician, but a good man. Julia had good taste.
Your COUSIN? Boy, just how old ARE you, you Lab-loving nut? ;-D
