William T. Sherman Quotes

This Officer Forced His Way Through The Crowd To The Carriage, And Said: "Mr. President, I Have A Cause Of Grievance. This Morning I Went To Speak To Colonel Sherman, And He Threatened To Shoot Me." Mr. Lincoln, Who Was Still Standing, Said, "Threatened To Shoot You?" "Yes, Sir, He Threatened To Shoot Me." Mr. Lincoln Looked At Him, Then At Me, And Stooping His Tall, Spare Form Toward The Officer, Said To Him In A Loud Stage-whisper, Easily Heard For Some Yards Around: "Well, If I Were You, And He Threatened To Shoot, I Would Not Trust Him, For I Believe He Would Do It." The Officer Turned About And Disappeared, And The Men Laughed At Him.
