Halleck's Ligstice to Grant and Lincoln in Civil War Era
Fragmented editorial notes discuss Halleck's posturing toward General Grant after Fort Donelson, with suppressed dispatch extracts and vivid, opinionated portraits of Lincoln. The piece juggles Civil War history, quotes, and other era commentary, plus promotional claims for patent medicines and a dental-like caution about sugar pills.
