That's interesting, Roger! Thanks for referring me to Linda's comment. Now that I've read it, I recall reading somewhere about the incident with MTL and Grant in the carriage where she thought the crowd was only cheering for Grant and was deeply offended.

I now remember Epstein was a little sloppy in other respects, too. For example, he oversimplified Lincoln's position on leaving slavery alone in the South, making it sound like he was looking at the continued existence of the institution in the South somewhat amorally, as a lawyer. Every time this came up in the book, I cringed.
