1866 BEAUTIFUL General Ulysses S Grant CIVIL WAR Military + Sherman & PROVENANCE

“I only knew what was in my mind, and I wished to express it clearly”

― Ulysses S. Grant

Joel T. Headley, an American historical author, was known for his biographical works on important American military leaders, such as Grant and Sherman. His major contribution, of course, is his account of the Civil War, entitled ‘The Great Rebellion’. Additionally, one of his best works was his perspective on the life of Ulysses S Grant following the Civil War. This book describes Grant’s responsibilities in the War as well as his integrity as a commander. While this book focuses primarily on Grant, it also includes “an accurate account of Sherman’s Great March from Chattanooga to Washington”.

A rare first edition on the life of General Grant prior to his presidency!
