Notes

See pp. 123-26 passim for a justification of Gen. U. S. Grant’s anti-Jewish General Order No. 11 ("... he was especially severe upon the Jews, particularly the German Jews, who followed our camp, and having no nationality, felt themselves in no way bound by oaths or obligations of any kind, but pursued their own private interests regardless of every other consideration").
