Grammar Correction

The sentence: “According to historian John D. Winters's The Civil War in Louisiana (1963), at this stage Sherman…” should be updated to: “According to historian John D. Winters' The Civil War in Louisiana (1963), at this stage Sherman…” 2600:100B:B021:7805:1881:D5D6:2196:4E74 (talk) 09:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Page number error in cite note #237

The citation states that, in addition to the book cited, the quote can also be found on page 262 of volume 17 of "Papers of Ulysses S. Grant". I have checked the source, which can be accessed for free here, and have tracked the quotation in question down to page 162 (going by the printed-in page numbers). I believe this is a simple typo and should be edited to read "162" instead of "262".

In case the page citation numbers should change, I am referring to section that says: 'In 1867, he wrote to Grant that "we are not going to let a few thieving, ragged Indians check and stop the progress" of the railroads.' L. Ron Musk (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
