Interesting Things I Learned from Ronald White's Grant so Far

Im midway through the war saga and Ive learned a lot about Grant as a man.

Ulysses Grant was really chill and was a lot more understanding as a man then I thought he would be. Dude loved horses and in the Mexican war, an assistant/servant lose his horse and other horses and Grant didnt lash out. Rather he intended to walk until a fellow officer gave him a horse. He didnt intend on taking it but was talked into it.

Grant got the business bug during a brief stint in San Francisco which was probably the worst thing for him. A lot of failed businesses and Grant repeatedly got finessed by people he thought were friends.

The whole resign or discharge incident from the Grant show may not be historically accurate.

The Battle of Belmont was really interesting. And a lot of the early battles seemed to be the sides alternating attack and defense, attack run away attack. In other words skirmishes.

From everything I read about him General Gideon Pillow seems like a dick
