No liquor bottles in sight.
Grant always got a bad rap for that. Truth be told, he only drank heavily in his later years as cancer ate his throat apart and the pain was excruciating.
To think Lee's dad gave the eulogy at George Washington's funeral. What a fucking traitor.
No conversation about Lee escapes me without that being pointed out. Several times.
