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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Military and Civil Life of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant: Leading Soldier of the Age; President of the United States; Loved and Honored American Citizen; The World's Most Distinguished Man As to men, none occupy the place of General Grant in the affections of the people. His name is honorably connected with the highest office in the gift of the American voter. As President he was true to law and order, mindful of great and arduous duties, careful of the momentous trust reposed in him. To know of him as Chief Executive of the Nation will be esteemed a privilege and pleasure by the passing generations. But the real character, as well as glory, of this illustrious man was military. Had he overshadowed all other Presi dents in profound statesmanship, wise diplomacy, and political acumen, the fame thus acquired would have been as Neptune to the Sun in comparison with that which sprang from his military career.

Book Description
Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant by Ulysses S. Grant. Ulysses Simpson Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant was an American soldier and statesman who served as Commanding General of the Army and the 18th President of the United States, the highest positions in the military and the government of the United States. In preparing these volumes for the public, I have entered upon the task with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether on the National or Confederate side, other than the unavoidable injustice of not making mention often where special mention is due. There must be many errors of omission in this work, because the subject is too large to be treated of in two volumes in such way as to do justice to all the officers and men engaged. There were thousands of instances, during the rebellion, of individual, company, regimental and brigade deeds of heroism which deserve special mention and are not here alluded to. The troops engaged in them will have to look to the detailed reports of their individual commanders for the full history of those deeds.
