Ron Chernow Quote

Lose. The chief quartermaster on the West Coast, Robert Allen, an old friend of Grant’s, learned he was holed up in a cheap miner’s hotel called What Cheer House. He found Grant in a spartan garret room furnished with a cot, a pine table, and a chair. Why, Grant, what are you doing here? Allen asked. Nothing, Grant replied. I’ve resigned from the army. I’m out of money, and I have no means of getting home.
