Of all the tributes Grant received, the one he appreciated most came from his friend Sherman. “Until this moment I never thought your expedition a success,” Sherman told Grant on May 18 as he gazed down from the heights where his corps had been mangled the previous December. “I never could see the end clearly until now. But this is a campaign. This is a success if we never take the town.”6
