Fort Humbolt is more than just north of San Francisco. It is one of the most isolated places you might visit. Foggy days, surrounded by redwood forests (especially in the 1850s). By car it is at least 6 hours from San Francisco. I can only imagine more soldiers than just Ulysses S. Grant found the bottle.
This was critical a little too critical specially on the slavery issue grant truly didn't have strong feelings on the subject before the war, the slaves belonged to his inlaws who he was essentially working for and the one slave that was personally given to him he freed it's unfair for the author to say he didn't know why grant freed the slave. Grant has always had it hard from writers since his death thank God people are looking at him fairly and not through the lense of southern foes he defeated in battle through his armies, they could not defeat him in battle so they ruined his reputation and made small faults he had into earth shattering matters while making a demigod out of Lee.
Fantastic lecture

Harsh but it worked ..
Weak historian.
