Walt Whitman, who ardently followed the Overland Campaign: "When did {Grant} ever turn back? He was not that sort; he could no more turn back than time! . . . Grant was one of the inevitables; he always arrived; he was invincible as a law: he never bragged-often seemed about to be defeated when he was in fact on the eve of a tremendous victory"
