Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant
Ulysses S. Grant
A military man's memoirs of his rise to power and the battles he fought, told from a firsthand perspective. Starting with his entry into West Point, Volume I follows Ulysses S. Grant through wars and skirmishes as he climbed the ranks. Volume II focuses on his command of the Union Army and the tactics he employed to ultimately wear down the Confederate war machine. Alongside accounts of battle, we see Grant's moral and methodical personality, devotion to his family, and his writing corroborated with original correspondences from the period.
