with a subsequent success out in the chattanooga area. and that rolls it all up right there.of the question then begs itself, could the war. talking about sherman and grant? could the war have been won without them? can the north win the war without sherman and grant? that is an open ended question you to ponder. you know tigers to be riding right now. so if you think about it lays gentlemen which those of you up front because you paid the early bird special of $130 can now see that small and you in the back cannot read that right back there will not get that joke there. but this actually happens to be the only picture that i could find all three generals in it. and cluding the subsequent president, andrew johnson. grant and made out of those three commander. which one do you find or two out of three or three out of three? which one is which one are indispensable all debatable? question but grant, obviously got to be up there if you think about it ladies and gentlemen, what about the the part, the veterans? what does it mean to them? there is a reason that the veteran is choo
