FUN-TO-READ CIVIL WAR PUBLICATION!
BIOGRAPHY OF ULYSSES S. GRANT
Ulysses S. Grant. Read about the life of famed Civil War general and United States President Ulysses S. Grant in an exciting, fun-to-read format! Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was leader of the Union forces during the United States Civil War, and was the eighteenth president of the United States.
This account of the life of Ulysses S. Grant, which has been reprinted from an 1872 work by L.P. Brockett, is extremely well written and entertaining to read. What makes this account particularly interesting is that it was originally written when Grant was actually living, and shortly following the Civil War, giving it an interesting, original perspective.
Includes a discussion of President Grant's ancestry, his early life, education at West Point, military career, roles in the U.S. Civil War including various battle descriptions, and election as President of the United States.
This publication is softcover, 8.5" x 11", 54 pages, and spiral bound. The print has been enlarged from the original size, for easier reading. Reprinted 2005, Belcher Foundation.

Sample Text: "Pretending to be Brigadier-General Grant, [Lieutenant Wickham] demanded food for himself and his staff. [***] Soon after, General Grant, who had halted his army for a short rest a few miles further back, came up, and being rather favorably impressed with the appearance of the farm-house, rode up to the door and asked them if they would cook him a meal. The woman, who grudged the food already furnished to the self-styled general and his staff, replied gruffly, 'No! General Grant and his staff have just been here, and eaten every thing in the house, except one pumpkin pie.'"

An excellent gift idea for Civil War, military, or history buffs!
