Ron Chernow Quote
He became known for breaking in wild horses for local farmers, a sight that drew admiring spectators to the village square. He tamed even the most refractory horses through a fine sensitivity to their nature rather than by his physical prowess. If people knew how much more they could get out of a horse by gentleness than by harshness, Grant once observed, they would save a great deal of trouble both to the horse and the man.
