Eric Williams | 20 comments I've tried adding the following quote but it didn't "go through":

It was a saying in the army that all a Yankee was worth was his shoes, and after Fredericksburg the story went round how a Confederate soldier stopped to pull off the boots of a Union officer supposed to be dead. Suddenly, in the midst of pulling off the first boot, the 'corpse' weakly raised phis head and cursed the rebel for robbing the wounded. 'Beg pardon, sir,' replied the Confederate as he nonchalantly walked away, 'I thought you had gone above.'

I got a message saying "1 error prohibited this quote from being saved:" but it didn't give a reason, just "Please try again later." I got the same problem when trying to add quotes at another library. Is there any problem with the libraries that I try to work at, or is the problem with the Goodreads system?
