Here is a question. If you walked into a room of Civil War Union Generals and knew nothing about the insignia that identified rank, would you identify Ulysses S. Grant as the man in charge? Probably not. He was 5′ 8″ tall, weighed 135 pounds and wore a Private’s coat with an insignia sewn on it. He did not have an authoritative bearing. Perhaps the active, penetrating eyes would have given him away. But, chances are, you would have not been successful. So what was it that made Grant a great leader? In the view of Professor Steven Woodworth, it was the behaviors he learned through his command experiences. In effect, it was the experiences and the lessons that they taught him that made Grant a great commander and leader. This will be the focus of Steve’s presentation on the 8th.
Dr. Steven Woodworth does not need an introduction to our group. His presentations are always memorable. We are fortunate to have one of the country’s leading leading Civil War historians in our community. He is a prolific author and his book on the Army of the Tennessee – Nothing but Victory is a classic. Books will be available for purchase and signing. See you there!
