Rudely Stamp’d Historical Impressions presents “Now We Stand by Each Other Always” November 14th at the American Civil War Museum at Appomattox Court House.

This three-act play features a series of conversations between Genls. Grant and Sherman over the course of the Civil War.  These conversations take place at key moments in the war and demonstrate the evolving friendship between the men – Vicksburg, MS in 1863, Cincinnati, OH in 1864 and City Point, VA in 1865.

Heroes of the Union war effort, Grant and Sherman were unlikely friends with dramatically different personalities.  Grant, ever stoic, was quiet, reticent and almost shy.  Sherman, on the other hand, was manic, nervous, fidgety and intense.  Despite these differences, the men forged a friendship in the fire of war and led the Union’s armies to ultimate victory.
