On: Obama's Chief Speechwriter, 27, Works on Inaugural Address While Making His Own Transition

[Prrometheus]

Didn't Lincoln write the Gettysburg Address himself? Legend has it he wrote it on the train ride to the Battlefield, though I'm not sure if that's true.

Lincoln was before Grant, obviously, but yes, that is the story. I'm not sure if it's apocryphal or what, but I believe it to be true.
