Lincoln often had to decide where to put his generals. One of them, John C. Fremont, found himself without a command. Lincoln could not find a suitable army for the man.
The situation reminded him of a father who told his son to take a wife.
The son considered the idea and asked his father,"Which wife shall I take?"
