I finished Mosby's memoirs and I came away with some ideas to think about. At the end of the book he wrote some memories of his friendship with U.S. Grant. He wrote...

[I once said to General Grant, "General, if you had been a Southern man, would you have been in the Southern army?"
"Certainly," he replied.]

Grant on General "Stonewall" Jackson.

["Jackson was the most conscientious being I ever knew."]
