Well, she won the game.
She wasn't the prettiest girl in St. Louis and her father did not own a 1.000 slaves.
But she stood by her husband, and she got to be the hostess of the best parties the nation had ever seen.
It was her that got to go to Paris and the Pyramids.
What you have is a woman that would scold Generals Sherman and Grant and tell them they had to say hello to Mrs. Lincoln whether they wanted to.
I think Grant truly appreciated his wife for her strengths. She seemed to compliment him and he also did the same for her. I'm sure Grant and Julia were a fine match.
