William Bryant: President Ulysses S. Grant

Quotes 

• President Ulysses S. Grant : When you were at Westpoint, you had a lot to do with a cadet a year behind you, Armstrong Custer.

  Jason McCord : Yes, Sir. I was assigned to coach him for his entrance exams.

• President Ulysses S. Grant : This is an election year, McCord. He was the youngest Major-General in the history of the Army. Now he's thirty-five years old, just old enough to be the youngest President in the history of the country.

• General George Armstrong Custer : Mr President, you sound as though we're talking about children, these are the survivors of the Stone Age, they're savages, they're 25,000 years behind our civilisation.

  President Ulysses S. Grant : Is that any reason for us to act like savages?

  General George Armstrong Custer : Us? Mr President, the word Sioux means cutthroat, chop off heads. The Cheyenne symbol is cut off arms and collect human limbs. The Oglala Chief Crazy Horse wears a symbol of a bloody hand on the front of his jacket.
