About This Quote
The “Marshall”, the man who said this, was a Union general named Ulysses S. Grant. He was at war with another Union general named Robert E. Lee. When Grant was captured by Confederates shortly after the battle of Vicksburg, he said to them, “I appreciate your thinking on me, marshal, but ain’t no trouble of his what ain’t trouble of mine, too.”
