General George M. McClellan [aka The Little Napoleon]; Union sergeant
While General McClellan puts his recruits through practice maneuvers for the Peninsular Campaign, a veteran sergeant brags to the recruits that he has been in several key battles and a bullet has never touched him and never will. He accompanies the recruits in battle at Richmond, then other areas, and at last is felled, not by a bullet, but by fever!

Subject Matter
war
General Uylsses S. Grant [aka Sam]; Jesse Grant (Ulysses' father, flashback); Frank (West Point student, flashback)
As Grant rides along, seemingly impervious to the bullets whizzing by and other elements of war, people reflect that, most of his life, Grant was a failure at everything he attempted to do. It was only in the element of war that he truly found his place in life.
