Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant), 1822 – 1885, was a military commander during the American Civil War and post-war Reconstruction period, and later, President of the United States (1869–1877).  Grant began his lifelong career as a soldier after graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1843.  He earned the nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant" for his relentless tactics and dedicated leadership during the Civil War. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln promoted him to the rank of lieutenant general and gave him charge of all of the Union Armies.  Under Grant's command, the Union Army defeated the Confederate forces and ended the American Civil War.  These are personal reminiscences of Grant which allow us to peer back in time to see him through the eyes of those who knew him.  Some anecdotes describe brief encounters with Grant, while others are are from historically prominent men who knew Grant well.   What they have in common are the intimate details that reveal the personality and character of General Grant.

Ayer Co. Pub

<p>This book brings together three unique perspectives on the Nez Perce War of 1877. Through the words of General O.O. Howard you'll observe the 1300-mile long panorama of the Nez Perce War from the viewpoint of the commander of the pursuing U.S. Troops. In the 1878 news articles of Montana reporter Duncan McDonald, you'll hear the voices of those Nez Perces who fled during the last hours of the war to the safety of Canada and who for years afterwards sadly, bitterly, defined the war as a friendship forgotten, a trust betrayed. Finally, through the voice of the famed Chief Joseph, you'll witness the personal and cultural pride, strengths and sufferings of the pursued. Never before have these three contradictory testimonials to the much-debated military campaign of the Nez Perce War been brought together, side-by-side, for your enjoyment, judgement, and enlightenment.</p>

Autobiography of Oliver Otis Howard, Major-General, United States Army, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Autobiography of Oliver Otis Howard, Major-General, United States Army, Vol. 1It is difficult for the human mind to determine what is its earliest recollection. Connected with the place where I was born, the remembrance that is most distinct is of an occurrence which took place when I was three years old. There is a dreamy sensation connected with the preceding, and with much of that which was subsequent to this one event.My parents lived in a large, plain, two-story frame house, facing toward a north and south road about a quarter of a mile westward from it. The front hall on the west side was remarkable for the broad frieze extending around it, on which was inscribed in plain letters, near the ceiling, the name of my grandfather, Seth Howard, repeated as often as necessary to the completion of the border. The kitchen part, the sheds, the corn building, and the barn began at the northeast corner of the house and extended in broken lines to the orchard. The main house had upon it a roof comparatively flat, with a small portion fenced in at the crest by a balustrade.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
