AM: 6.25 up and down Grandeur Peak. Had the trail mostly to myself.

I finished reading Ronald White's biography of President Grant and it was an excellent correction to the historical violence to Grant's reputation, both as  general and president, perpetrated by Dunning School historians for over a century. Grant was a great general and a good president.

Abraham Lincoln.

Sasha should add a "like" button Steve. Great quote. Lincoln also asked a general who was complaining about Grant's drinking if he knew which brand of whiskey Grant preferred. Said he was going to send a case to all his generals!

I have a book about Grant by William S. Mcfeely that I have started to read. It was a thrift store find. A Pulitzer Prize winner, so hopefully it will be accurate.
