Quote of the Day
"I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah." - Union Gen. William T. Sherman to President Lincoln on today's date during the Civil War in the year 1864.
That is a cool present. I've never gotten a city as a present before. A village yes but a city? What a nice gesture. I hope Lincoln wrote a prompt and very nice thank you note.
