(12-25-2022 11:18 PM)Dave B Wrote: Posthumous honors are more expensive than I thought. General Grant would have settled for being the mayor of the town in Ohio where he lived. According to Professor Burlingame, "the only office [Grant] wanted was the mayoralty of his hometown so that he could have a sidewalk laid from his house to the train station." (Abraham Lincoln, A Life, Vol. Two, page 628.) [Note: This remark was made in reference to the possibility of his being elected to the office of President of the United States.] "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
