Lincoln Era War Grants and Mistakes Reconsidered
A historical column defends Lincoln by arguing his decisions on McClellan and the overland route were foresighted. It praises Grant's leadership at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, rebuts radical critics, notes Rosecrans as an inferior, and cites a Chicago Tribune remark on Copperheads. It includes a Washington anecdote on presidential patience and a Saxon collision tale from the Tenth Army Corps.
