This a six page dissertation about Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant written by Frank A. Cargill, a Union veteran of the Civil War. Frank Cargill had enlisted as a Private at the age of 14, and was mustered in as a substitute in Company G of the 6th New Hampshire Infantry on 6 June, 1864. Records show that he was wounded at Petersburg, Virginia on 7 July, 1864, barely a month after he enlisted. Private Cargill was mustered out of the service with his unit on 17 July, 1865 at Alexandria, Virginia. Cargill went on to become a doctor and settled in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Dr. Cargill was active in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was the Department of Connecticut Commander in 1930. He died 2 March, 1932 at the age of 83. It is unknown if this paper was written as a professional document or of a personal nature. The text is hand written in cursive, and for the most part easy to read. It is untitled, and is split evenly about Lee and Grant. Unlike the other documents listed written by him, this one does nothave Dr. Cargill's address or the date it was written. The paper is lined and has turned a light brown in color. This provides some insight into a common soldier's mind of what he thought of the Civil War's two best known Generals.
