William S. McFeeley, Ulysses S. Grant, An Album, 1st ed.

Description

With Ulysses S. Grant: An Album, William McFeeley, Grant’s acclaimed biographer, has assembled a dramatic collection of photographs that reveals the people, places, and events that shaped the life of one of the towering figures of American history.

This pictorial biography gives us both the private man and public figure, and his views on slavery, his love life, the houses he lived in, his understanding of war, and the trip around the world that he and his wife Julia took (with remarkable illustrations made at the time). The photographs chronicle the transformation from obscure officer to national hero and enhance our understanding of Grant’s remarkable Personal Memoirs.

As new; dust jacket.
