I noticed that while a regiment of ours held in reserve at that point, and which was much exposed, was ordered to seek shelter in a ravine close by. Grant, seemingly insensible to danger, quietly smoked his pipe and coolly watched the movements of the contending forces. Only once he said to me, jocosely, " Governor, it's too late to dodge after the ball has passed. '' I watched him narrowlj', and the thought of personal danger did not seem once to h^ve entered his mind. As for myself, I felt mu...ch relieved when after a short interview with General Raw- lins, his chief of staff, he said, " Governor, we will go and order Logan up. " Was not his a courageous spirit who, with fame already secure by the bright record of a bund''ed victories, dared to accept the crushing responsibility of commanding the Army of the Potomac, where so many generals had been sacrificed, and where so many bloody reverses had almost dispirited the army and shrouded the land in mourning? Here he was to confront the flower of the rebel army, led by their greatest commander, who, in their estimation, wore the charm of invincibility.
