The US Civil War general who could only recognize two melodies, one of which
was Yankee Doodle and the other was not, turns out was none other than U.S.
Grant.

(My casualty statistic was slightly wrong too. It was the battle of Cold
Harbor in 1864, and the 7000 people died in 7 minutes, not 2. Wow...)
