The Real Truth

[L Verge]

Thank you, Scott, for putting into words my opinion of the Grant is a Drunkard story. I remember the debate in college over how to take Cadawallader's memoirs -- and the supposed response by Lincoln (when told of Grant's drinking) to find out the brand of whiskey he used because the North needed more winning generals.

I, too, am a fan of U.S. Grant - and have just been put on the hit list by Will Bill and Rick Smith!
