Longstreet and Grant: "Why will men fight who were born to be brothers?"
Immediately following the death of Ulysses S. Grant in 1885, a reporter interviewed former Confederate Gen. James Longstreet at his home outside Gainesville, Ga. Longstreet paid tribute to his late friend and shared memories of war and peace. Life on the Civil War Research Trail is hosted by Ronald S.
