War romance fuels clash over Grant campaign memoirs
New York May 3 General Horace Porter’s Century Magazine work Campaigning With Grant spurs a dispute with General Charles H. Collis commissioner of public works who served in the Wilderness campaign. Collis claims he corrected Porter memory three months ago and now shares his account with the daily press. He says no Grant or Meade staff were present at the disputed incident and that if Porter is correct then the praise should go to Porter, not Collis. Collis cautions against romanticizing the war and urges defenders of the dead to protect their laurels.
