A well researched study of U S Grant’s life before the Civil War. This work is a rare look at Mr. Grant’s early life. While Grant is famous mostly for his military success during the Civil War and his memoirs he published just before he died. The nearly 40 years of his early life were relatively unknown until Mr. Lewis published this work. After Mr. Lewis’ unexpected death, Mr Catton completed the trilogy with 2 volumes during Grant’s military service in the War.

My purpose for reading this was to get the perceptions of a generation that was much closer to the actual deeds. This it accomplished.
