Prof. Michael Paulsen heard about my project and suggested that I add Grant to my list. I also benefited from comments received during my presentation at the Third Biennial International Applied Storytelling Conference in July 2011 at the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law. My research assistant Marc Spooner provided valuable insight, and we both became quite attached to Grant. Peter D. Gray was a wonderful source of Civil War information. Subia Beg ably reviewed the article. Mary Wells helped me locate several sources. I also thank Jessica Clark, Joan Magat, Sue Painter-Thorne, Ruth Anne Robbins, and Melissa Weresh, my editors at Legal Communication & Rhetoric: J. ALWD, for their helpful suggestions and tireless work on this article.
