Im crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I dont like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh. – Shelby Foote
And Im a slow writer: five, six hundred words is a good day. Thats the reason it took me 20 years to write those million and a half words of the Civil War. – Shelby Foote
