Grant's Horsemanship After Port Hudson Incident
A New York reporter recalls General Grant's review ride after Port Hudson. Grant borrowed a Massachusetts parade bay horse while the narrator rode a thoroughbred mare. The pair wheeled along the lines as the bay sprinted to keep up, prompting troops to debate if it was a horse race or a military review. The general notes his two war horses survived campaigns and that he kept them in Massachusetts after returning to civilian life.
