The author is being entirely too modest about his efforts. My guess is that during Fall, 1862, there were <i>lots</i> of people asking the question about where the great leaders have gone. Not that any of our recent presidents measure up to this standard, but who knows how history will judge them? I ran across these President’s Day musings at 3quarksdaily.
