Well, women are half of history!

Yours is only half? Tell me your secret!

Ergo, take Julia's train reservations and beg off.

I agree. When the wife speaks, Grant listens.

Also, the Lincolns are one of those couples where you don't mind hanging out with the husband, if only he didn't bring the wife along. I think I would have liked to spend time with Lincoln - without Mary.

Further, Grant apparently pretty much hated being in Washington anyway, so I don't think it would be that hard to convince him to be somewhere else.

Agree back atcha. Grant didn't like being there and, better still, Julia didn't like being there. We're outa here!

Dear List Members;

Although the Grants 'hated' Washington; they both returned for two term presidency.

And, I agree to the thought that women are part of history; but--the number percentage might not be really known; there were many women who were working in the 'war effort.' I cannot forget the 20 some women who perished in an explosion at the Washington Arsenal; during the Civil War making ammunition. I believe it was the largest civilian death at a military facility.

Can't forget the nurses, a few female doctors--the women who wore the uniform and fought along the men; not always being discovered; e.g. unknown CSA female at Gettysburg-at the wall where Pickett's charge was. Unknown how many women served and survived and kept their service secret on both sides.

Don't know how many women sewed flags, uniforms, cooked and canned the goods for consumption.

Just some thoughts.

Respectfully submitted for consideration,
M. E. Wolf
