I’ve been surprised to see no reaction to the new Cleburne book also. Look forward to any detailed reviews of it.

I’ve never really read about the Grant-Brown connection. I wonder if Lewis mentions it in his very detailed ‘Captain Sam Grant’.
Thanks,
Chris

Drew,

I am also making my way through it and was struck by that very same point.

I am going through a proof of Waugh’s new book on Grant, and was surprised to find that Grant’s father worked for John Brown’s father for some period of time (maybe it has been mentioned before in the Grant bios but was news to me). Doesn’t really mean anything, just an interesting historical intersection.

I’ve been wondering about “Invisible Hero”. I’ve come across zero reaction to it beyond a single unhelpful review on Amazon. Since it was published by a univ. press I thought the Cleburne crowd would have something to say about it.
