Was there an assassin on Grant's train?

Thanks, Gene. I knew I could depend on you to complete my thoughts with the song.

If you listen to those words carefully, I think they may reflect the same feelings that many of us continue to have about the American Civil War. No matter how many sides you read about and think you understand, 99% of us will never realize what truly happened in the minds of our ancestors from say 1830 on because we did not walk that long, bloody road in their shoes. We are doomed (on both sides) to ignore logic in favor of emotions.

BTW, Gene: Remember that old TV show of the 50s (if you are old enough), Name That Tune? You would be great at it.
