I was reading a book about Grant by James Marshall-Cornwall. On the baack is a quote by General Lee in which he says, "Now, I have carefully searched the millitary records of both ancient and and modern history, and have never found Grant's superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history". High praise from Grant's Counterpart in the war, right? But Lee also was quoted as saying in a letter to his son, I think, "Grant's talent seems to lie in aquiring superior numbers". Is Lee talking out of both sides of his mouth. I know it's not really that important, but he just seems to contradict himself regarding his feelings about Grant. Just wanted to get some thoughts from you guys.
