Foresight

 In 1861, Richard Ewell, a Confederate lieutenant general, wrote about the Union forces: "There is one West Pointer, I think in Missouri, little known, and whom I hope the northern people will not find out. I mean Sam Grant. I knew him at the Academy and in Mexico. I should fear him more than any of their officers I have yet heard of."
