george meade, will continue. will continue to be led by mead. he is both touched and reassured by grant any display of confidence in him. i am reminded because i have been looking recently at the second world war and its aftermath of harry truman's expectation that george marshall will quote, clean up, unquote, the state department. marshall like grant does nothing of the kind. his instinct is to walk in, find out what its good in the organization, and reward it rather than, of course, this was a technique of grant's. the campaign-- the army of the potomac's campaign, according to one grant biographer was quote, a hideous disaster in every respect save one." it worked. it was in the military strategy, in the wilderness, an affair of nightmarish inhumanity, an inept military strategy that ranks one of the worst such episodes in our history of national warfare. to soldiers of the two next generations when they were searching for comparisons of the agony of war and the argon forest in 1918, and in the hertgen forest in the fall and winter of '44/'4

further, burnside outranked meade in seniority. grant stood between them as an intermediary in a cumbersome situation. and that would change after the wilderness campaign when grant would assume control of all tactical decisions and relegate both burnside and meade to secondary roles. the new commander worked tirelessly throughout the month of april, although he gave few obvious signs of strong activity. his 42nd birthday passed without fanfare. he customarily was seen whittling on a stick while puffing on one of the two dozen cigars he smoked daily. a new england officer watched grant closely for a time and declared he had a low, gentle, vibrant voice, not a hint of self-consciousness, impatience, or restlessness. either of mind or body. on the contrary, he was the center of a pervasive quiet which seemed to be conveyed to everyone around him. no parades or grand reviews occurred during the army build-up. grant preferred to ride casually down the lines, looking intently into the faces of the soldiers who were going to be fighting

interestingly, grant offered mead. george mead was willing to go, you're subordinate to grant. lincoln said no. i have been under pressure to get rid of mead for some period of time, not going to do it now. grant on the other hand really liked william franklin. why would you ask that. that's because franklin was number one in grant's west point class. he thought franklin was about as bright a man as you can get. in that sense he was, but as a general, we pretty well know the difference. when lincoln heard that, he said no no, i don't think he said, but knew in his manned, he smells of mcclellan. they left it at that. next day, grant wired washington and said he is sending his cavalry commander sheridan to assume temporary command of the new department, if hunter does not want to stay in command. if hunter wants to stay in command, he can be. i will tell you in washington they were surprised by this appointment. i'm not sure because of his age at 33 or bought i was irish. but nevertheless, they were taken aback by the fact we're going to give this to philip sheridan. he is the k
