In the summer of 1863 after the climactic battle at Vicksburg, Lincoln's government was more interested in Ulysses Simpson Grant than any other man alive. Although he was their most successful soldier, few men in Washington had even met him. Over the next several months his face, his morals, his total conduct would become commonly known and discussed by a nation tragically divided by the Civil War. Richard Henry Dana, Jr., was later to describe him as having "no gait, no manner, and no station -- and as looking like "nobody at all." Yet as his close comrade-in-arms, General William T. Sherman, put it: "To me he is a mystery, and I believe he is a mystery to himself."
