Let us know why it is meaningful to you.
Nice pic
I realize her nickname, "Dragon" Dix, wasn't meant to be a compliment, but I would take it as one. It doesn't hurt to remind people around you that you can breathe a little fire, and it sounds like she did. For all the right reasons.
This is one of my favorites.
She doesn't look particularly fierce, does she? I read that she was soft spoken too, though who knows if that's true. In any case, I like the contrast between her nickname and her image.Nice pic
Yeah, usually the images of her that I have seen show her as very severe.She doesn't look particularly fierce, does she? I read that she was soft spoken too, though who knows if that's true. In any case, I like the contrast between her nickname and her image.
Yes ~ Julia! Every photo of her reminds me of her discomfort with her eye, but maybe I should rethink that. Maybe I should read unwavering determination and devotion in her face instead.Julia Dent Grant
Because her husband, Ulysses, would not have been who he was without her, and she, as much as he, contributed to the outcome of the Civil War. She did so by standing alongside him, supporting him and loving him in every situation and circumstance.
Love this!Mary Fields!
"She drinks whiskey, and she swears, and she is a republican, which makes her a low, foul creature."
MY kinda gal!
Breaks noses too!Love this!
"One lout failed to pay his bill to her however (he had ordered extra starch in the cuffs and collar). Hearing him out in the street, she left the saloon and knocked him flat with one blow - at the age of 72. She told her wobbly drinking companions that the satisfaction she got from that act was worth more than the bill owed, so the score was settled. As luck would have it, the tooth of his that she knocked out was giving him trouble anyway, so there was no reprisal. Actually, he was grateful."Breaks noses too!
SO much love!
Very true.Julia Dent Grant
