Great Commander recounted by Col Nicholas Smith in Milwaukee
Col Nicholas Smith recalls meeting General Grant before the war in southwestern Wisconsin and in Grant county. He recounts Grant’s use of humor about strap oil at the Grant shop, Grant’s early moves toward Galena, and a prairie du Chien incident involving reclaiming goods with O B Thomas and Deputy Burnson. The tale includes Grant’s decisive act to breach a locked warehouse door and seize a gunman to aid in loading stolen goods onto a wagon.
