I  liked seeing Lincoln and Twain colorized.  They seemed less iconic and
more real.

I'm a fan of U.S. Grant and wish he were praised for his Memoirs more than
for being a functional alcoholic.  What is the distinction between a
heavy drinker and an alcoholic?  (Pardon my rant)

A couple of pictures seemed unfinished.  All were worth seeing.  I'd never
noticed the three stars on the confederate collar and I'm thunderstruck by
being introduced to Lee's son.
