Grant had taken a fall-and other soldiers had slipped also. Grant won the battle. Interestingly enough, the matter between the two was never brought up again. In fact, Chandler later worked for Grant-while he was President.

Bill,

I am reading H.W. Brands "The Man Who Saved the Union", a bio of USG. I highly recommend it; Brands is one of the foremost biographers around.
I am taking guests off to Springfield, IL to show them Lincoln sites, including stuff few if any tourists ever see. Have a great trip to Michigan.
