Excerpt from Grant in Peace: From Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a Personal Memoir
Was that all right? The disclosure is no betrayal of his confidence, now that his modesty can no longer be pained. It cannot but make his calm and stalwart nature still more interesting to know that it covered the ordinary softnesses of humanity. The living, breathing man is nearer to us than the statue Of stone or unreal demi-god. The Grant that I knew was full of human nature. He had his weaknesses, but they made him more lovable sometimes to those Who found them out he had his faults, but to deny this would be to deny that he was mortal.
