"The great thing about General Grant is his perfect coolness and
persistency of purpose . . . he is not easily excited . . . and he
has the grit of a bulldog" - Abraham Lincoln-

The term blitzkrieg had yet to be coined, but those were the tactics Grant employed. Within the next two weeks his army would cut loose from its supply line, march 180 miles, change direction twice, fight five major engagements against an enemy whose combined strength exceeded his own, inflict over 7,000 casualties while suffering half of that, and pin Pemberton’s demoralized troops against the ropes at Vicksburg.
