Everyone found Grant modest and retiring, an altogether likable fellow. "His only dissipation was in owning a fast horse," said a regimental colleague. "He always liked to have a fine nag, and he paid high prices to get one."21 Grant enjoyed playing chess and checkers, attending parties with Julia, and worshipping with her at the Methodist church.
