grant's papers. and so it was that i began to prepare my remarks, and on the appointed day, i put on a new suit, and my talk seemed to be going well until i broached the subject of smuggling. now, ulyssess s. grant was deeply concerned about smuggling between the north and the south. and since some of the smugglers that his troops caught were jews, he concluded that all jews were smugglers. i pointed out that we now know that smuggling was rampant throughout grant's territory, it was by no means a jewish monopoly. in fact, i enthusiastically continued, grant's own father, jesse grant, was with engaged in -- was engaged in a clandestine scheme to move southern cotton northward. his partners were the jewish clothing manufacturers, harman, henry, and simon mac. well, no sooner were those words out of my mouth, than a few chairs began to shift uneasily in the room. and my mentor the pioneering , american jewish historian , buried his face in his hands. i knew i was in big trouble clearly. i'd said someth

grant.he boys teased him and called him uncle sam. he was known s sam grant at west point. brian: what happened during the civil war when he had these close friends on the other side? ronald: he respected them. long street told lee, i don't think you understand who you are going to be up against when you fight grant. he finally practiced what lincoln put forward. at the end of the war, he practice what both he and lincoln wanted to be. these men i had all fought on the same side in the war with mexico. brian: want to show you some video. we have covered a lot of grant. this is just a brief excerpt from what we found in our archive. [video clip] brian: many books written on grant. >> grant personify the egalitarian values of a modernizing democratic society. no grant and there is no victory in the civil war for the union. >> i do contend that grant saved the union. >> his stature and reputation towered above all others, with his name forever linked with lincoln and the sacred union cause. >>

side -- decide to do the eula sets grant --ulysses s. grant book?onald: we knew that the commemoration of the civil war was coming so it seemed appropriate. i have to confess to myself after about a year and a half of working on this that even though he was obviously an important figure in my link in the artery ln biography -- linco biography. when i write a biography, it is not just what they did, it is they are. i think that is what the american people want to know. >> he was born in 1822. ronald: that is correct, point pleasant, ohio. >> they had migrated west. he is often looked it as his great individual hero. he saw himself as part of a family story. he looked back through the prism of a generation of grants. gradu -- gradually migrated west. he was a tanner. >> if you are here, what would he look like? : nadal, 57 -- not tall, 5'7. this is in 1864 photograph that they have colorized. you can see his blue eyes. i think you can see through his eyes into his own. when he walked into the white house, nobody knew he was. of abrahamstory lincoln lo

grant." brian: ronald c. white, author of "american ulysses: a life of ulysses s. grant," what is the story you open your book to? ronald: may i read it? brian yes. ronald: aride at the crowded baltimore and ohio railroad station in washington on a cold, crisp morning. brian: the war started in 1861. ronald: yes. brian: did i read it in your book that does the first time that grant had ever met lincoln? ronald: this was the first time he had ever met him. grant was out in the west. so he had never met grant before. they met that evening. brian: and that particular date would have been where in the civil war history? ronald: well, that date the troops were in their winter quarters but he brought grant east for what was expecting the great spring campaign. that was started in may. the overland campaign where grant would marchremembering that four times into virginia before federal armies had marched into virginia and four times before, they had retreated humiliating retreats. brian: how did yo

where sherman and grant were more like stars. in twilight, you don't see them too much but as things get darker and darker, they get brighter and brighter. and they essentially led the path home. susan: we will spend more time with these women. it is always more fun to start with the negative. let us start with jessie benton fremont. i am emphasizing her maiden name because she was the daughter of a famous legislator. tell me about the family. candy: she was the daughter of thomas benton, one of the first senators from missouri. a man that was so respected for his integrity, particularly his anti-slavery stance which first cost him his seat in the senate and then in the house. that both theodore roosevelt wrote a biography of him and john kennedy included him in his profiles in courage. he was a giant of a man who came from a slaveholding family and then went in completely the opposite direction. he was sure that his first child was going to be a boy and he was going to name the boy after his father jesse. well, things happen. an

block grant funding. this was in the 1970's. cities want a direct access and do not want to rely on the state. they do not want to be the parent doling out what they think is correct. this is a way for cities to have a direct connection to the white house, congress, and to be able to make their own appeal to capitol hill in terms of what their direct needs are rather than only rely on the state. again -- host: bill is in wisconsin, democrats line for our guest, liz farmer, of "governing magazine." bill, you are on. go ahead. caller: i would just like to interject the funding for states is very unequal. forst read an article that $.61 back jersey gets for every dollar of federal tax they pay, whereas wyoming, one of the least dense states, gets $1.11 back from the federal government for every one dollar citizens pay to the federal government. it is important to keep that in mind while you are talking about city budgets. as you said, cities do not want to depend just on their state. there is such a great va

of course, grant, what are they up to now? about 37 volumes or something of grant's papers?e ones i'm looking at are the first dozen or so. again, another situation not only did julia not write often but the few letters she wrote mostly not saved. there is one letter that was of hers to him that was saved. and michelle actually let me go look at the real letter which is amazing. mostly you're just seeing it onhin. and it was saved because she wrote it on the back of one of his letters. she wrote on it. she said save this letter and give it back to me. she was so determined to save all of his letters that descentally one of hers got saved, too. >> so it's to the point of this gentleman in the first row's question that you describe all four of these as tough and fearless women. they were obviously in tune to politics. and the interesting thing is that you wrote that all three -- three for sure and possibly all

he's convinced it's not grant trying to outflank them. rather grant trying to attack.. he did some great work until he got wounded in the foot in the spring of 1862, goes back to richmond to con va less. >> when he comes back to the army, he has a wooden walking stick because of the foot injury. his men call him stubby. his boots on and his cane next to his bed and indeed, an attack is coming. 20,000 federals under hancock headed right to the civil war. hancock's going to take upton's model and build on it, so the left part of hancock's attack is going to be that fist. and in support, david bell bernie is going to line up at a traditional line of battle sweeping forward in this direction. time of the attack is set for 4:00 in the morning this rain has conjured up fog from the bottom lands. cooled it off, taken the edge off. the fog has made the force impenetrable. no one knows what they're heading into. they can't see it. they just know they're heading into trouble. the men stand there, they sleep on their feet. others so pumped up with adrenaline or fear they can't sl
