Temper, Temper
If one more bad thing happened today, Mary Todd Lincoln was going to lose it. She had invited herself along on Abraham Lincoln’s trip to Union army headquarters at City Point, Virginia. Julia Grant, wife of commanding general Ulysses S. Grant, had suggested to her husband that he invite the President to come visit. She had been “struck by constant newspaper reports of the exhausted appearance of the President” and thought a break from Washington would do him good. Grant worried about the protocol involved in sending an invitation when the President could go where he liked whenever he wanted, but he sent a note to Lincoln in March, 1865 suggesting that “the rest would do you good.”

I'll Go When I'm Good And Ready
General George McClellan was outnumbered. At age thirty-four, he was an internationally-respected military thinker and strategist (except where the cavalry was concerned; he only wanted them for guards and advance patrols.

Why Civilization is the cause of discontent?
At an early stage of development, the actions of an infant are controlled by its instinct. Try snatching a rattle from its hand, and it will come at you with force to take it back. A one-year-old toddler does not think twice to latch at its mother's breast when hungry. It cannot differentiate between the self and the outer world as it is driven by pure ego and wants. Freud defines this phenomenon as infantile narcissism.

The Truth About King Richard and His Devoted Minstrel
King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, was one of England’s most popular monarchs, so it’s not surprising that much of what people write about him is absolute nonsense.
