In a masterful narrative, a prominent historian brings to life the last year of General Grant's life--a tragic, poignant, and inspiring story.
Faced with failing health and financial ruin, the Civil War's greatest general and former president wrote his personal memoirs to secure his family's future - and won himself a unique place in American letters. Devoted almost entirely to his life as a soldier, Grant's Memoirs traces the trajectory of his extraordinary career - from West Point cadet to general-in-chief of all Union armies. For their directness and clarity, his writings on war are without rival in American literature, and his autobiography deserves a place among the very best in the genre.
The Grants of the Northern Neck of Virginia are more than a simple lineage. Their participation in outward bound migrations that shaped America and three wars-Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil-requires historical understanding. As a science, history changed in the 1950s from a focus to please the reader to one of critical thinking and criticisms of institutions, policies and economic divide previously held sacrosanct. This book follows a similar path. It provides a fresh perspective on Grant family history and lineage in an environment of intolerant individuals, institutions and policies; and is truly a remarkable story of spirit and endurance.
