Book Description
Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant, the Citizen, the Soldier, the Statesman Not )ythe ball or brand Sped by a mortal hand, Not by the lighning-stroke When fiery tempest broke, Not mid the ranks of war Fell the great Conqueror. II. Unmoved, undismayd, In the crash and carnage of the cannonade, Eye that dimmed not, hand that failed not, Brain that swerved not, heart that quailed not, 8 teel nerve, iron form. The dauntless spirit that oerruled the storm. III. While the Hero peaceful slept A foeman to his chamber crept, Lightly to the slumberer came, Touched his brow and breathed his name: Oer the stricken form there passed Suddenly an icy blast. IV. The Hero woke: rose undismayd: Saluted Death and sheathed his blade. V.The Conqueror of a hundred fields To a mightier Conqueror yields; No mortal foemans blow Laid the great Soldier low; Victor in his latest breath Vanciuished but by death. Francis F.Browne.

Pages : 754
Book Description
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, bestselling historian, and author of Our First Civil War—a masterful biography of the Civil War general and two-term president who saved the Union twice, on the battlefield and in the White House. • “[A] splendidly written biography ... Brands does justice to one of America’s most underrated presidents.” —Dallas Morning News Ulysses Grant emerges in this masterful biography as a genius in battle and a driven president to a divided country, who remained fearlessly on the side of right. He was a beloved commander in the field who made the sacrifices necessary to win the war, even in the face of criticism. He worked valiantly to protect the rights of freed men in the South. He allowed the American Indians to shape their own fate even as the realities of Manifest Destiny meant the end of their way of life. In this sweeping and majestic narrative, bestselling author H.W. Brands now reconsiders Grant's legacy and provides an intimate portrait of a heroic man who saved the Union on the battlefield and consolidated that victory as a resolute and principled political leader. Look for H.W. Brands's other biographies: THE FIRST AMERICAN (Benjamin Franklin), ANDREW JACKSON, TRAITOR TO HIS CLASS (Franklin Roosevelt) and REAGAN.

Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant
Author: Ulysses S. GrantPublisher:
ISBN: 9789356617131
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Ulysses S. Grant's autobiography is undoubtedly one of the best among great military figures' autobiographies, and it is possibly the most significant literary work of any American president: a lucid, riveting, and brutally honest record of triumph and failure. These memoirs are a captivating, very emotional narrative of a brilliant man presented with remarkable courage as he reflects on the circumstances that shaped his life and character, from his frontier youth to his valour in war to the terrible poverty from which the Civil War ironically liberated him. It is a success of the art of autobiography, written under adversity-Grant was dying of throat cancer-and encouraged and edited from the start by Mark Twain.
Ulysses S. Grant; Warrior and Statesman
Author: Ulysses S. GrantUlysses S. Grant
Author: Geoffrey PerretPublisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0307560880
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
Not since Bruce Catton has there been such an absorbing and exciting biography of Ulysses S. Grant. “Grant is a mystery to me,” said William Tecumseh Sherman, “and I believe he is a mystery to himself.” Geoffrey Perret’s account offers new insights into Grant the commander and Grant the president that would have astonished both his friends, such as Sherman, and his enemies. Based on extensive research, including material either not seen or not used by other writers, this biography explains for the first time how Ulysses S. Grant’s military genius ultimately triumphed as he created a new approach to battle. He was, says Perret, “the man who taught the army how to fight.” As president, Grant was widely misunderstood and underrated. That was mainly because he was, as Perret shows, the first modern president—the first man to preside over a rich, industrialized America that had put slavery behind it and was struggling to provide racial justice for all. Grant’s story—from a frontier boyhood to West Point; from heroic feats in the Mexican War to grinding poverty in St. Louis; from his return to the army and eventual election to the presidency; from his two-year journey around the world to his final battle to finish his Personal Memoirs—is one of the most adventurous and moving in American history.
