“It occurred to me at once that Harris had been as much afraid of me as I had of him,” Grant would write. “This was a view of the question I had never taken before; but it was one I never forgot afterwards. From that event to the close of the war, I never experienced trepidation upon confronting an enemy, though I always felt more or less anxiety. I never forgot that he had as much reason to fear my forces as I had his. This lesson was valuable.”
