Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant Amid the multitude of biographies of General Grant, written in the main by those who knew him with some degree of intimacy, the appearance of another may seem to demand explanation, and even apology. I cannot lay claim either to participation in the stirring history of his times, or to personal acquaintance with my subject; but each generation requires the service of its own historians and biographers, in order to bring the message of the past to bear on the present; and this book is the result of an honest attempt to record a life that is full of significance for our own era. The time has now come when the great struggle for national existence, known as the American Civil War, can be studied without passion or prejudice. Within the last few years, many volumes of personal reminiscences and letters have appeared, and the correspondence of the leaders on both sides has been made available. The primary sources of information, therefore, are approaching completion. Even with this wealth of material, it has not always been easy to determine the exact truth with reference to some of the facts of Grant's life.

Excerpt from The True Ulysses S. Grant When invited to prepare the manuscript for this work the writer's first impulse was to decline. The subject, however, had for long years commanded his deep interest and much investigation. His admiration of the character and his study of the career of Ulysses Grant equalled probably those of his eminent biog raphers, and finally, in the belief that there were virtues in the true Grant to which full prominence had not been given, possibly because Grant himself would have regarded them as matters of course, there came the desire to write of our great commander as he seemed to one of the least of these his subaltems, and from the fulness of a store of information garnered through reading and hearing for half a century this memoir practically wrote itself. The real work came when it had to be planed and pruned to the prescribed limits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life of Ulysses S. Grant, General United States Army Grant but his father: the son never consents to indulge in reminiscence respecting his early years, and uniformly refers biographers to the record 'for his career during man hood. In regard to the Mexican War, I have been favored with some material by Hon. Mr. Washburne who has also furnished me with data respecting Grants life on the frontiers. In the campaigns from Belmont to Chattanooga, I have followed, upon all 'disputable points, the authority of Gen. Adam Badeau, in his Military History of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. I have frequently in the text expressed my obligations to the careful researches of this gentleman and I repeat my acknowledgments in this introduction.

Excerpt from A Popular and Authentic Life of Ulysses S. Grant In any picture which can be possibly made of this great conflict, two figures will ever be prominent on the scene. Turn that picture as you may, like it or dislike it, think what you will of it, lincoln and grant will ever be looking straight at you. One was a statesman, who, calm, quiet, simple, guided as if by the very hand of Providence the civil forces through untried dangers and unheard-of calamities to a safe deliverance. The other was a soldier, as plain and simple, leading the embattled armies of the Republic through multiplied trials, through flowing blood, through defeats and Victories, through gloom and glory, to the achievement of a last and a glorious success. Lincoln is gone, his work done, his glory Complete. History preserves his name among the few nobly great. But grant remains to complete the drama of the great conflict. Something is yet to be done. The last scenes of the last act have not passed away. Grant is still on the stage, and in these last scenes he is the principal figure.

Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant: Address I shall not give a catalogue of battles. Let others better versed in military lore discuss details of strategy for which Grant had himself but little use. War as a game had no attractions for him. His meagre library had no military books. He studied tactics only for the task in hand. I never maneuver, he once said to Meade; and, to another officer, The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is! Get at him as soon as you can Strike at him as hard as you can, and keep moving on! Grant never was concerned about the opposition, considered only what he had to do himself, assumed the forces of the enemy would be as frightened as his own. I am a smarter man than Grant, said Sherman. I know a great deal more about war and abouteverything else than he does but I'll tell you where he beats me and where he beats the world. I am always worrying about what the enemy is going to do. Grant never gives a damn! Of all Grant's battles Shiloh is the one in most dispute. But this is undisputed - that, however badly it was planned and though the loss in men was great, it marked a striking Federal advance and swept the armies of the Southwest back toward their last stand at Vicksburg.

Excerpt from The Life of Ulysses S. Grant, General of the Armies of the United States Virginia, and the crowning events which culminated at Appomattox Court House in April, 1865, may of itself, be thought a satisfactory motive for the production of this volume; but to this is to be added the wish to do justice as far as possible to a man, who, highly as he is admired by his fellow-citizens, is not yet sufficiently esteemed for heroic steadiness and courage, his transparent simplicity and honesty, and his profound and disinterested wisdom. Another consideration which has seemed to be of some weight is the fact, that most of the biographies, completed or projected, are either of a special nature, exclusively devoted to some particular portion or aspect of General Grant's career; or else they are framed upon a plan of extensive elaboration and exceeding fulness of detail. It has accordingly seemed desirable that there should be a book of convenient compass, covering the entire ground, and putting within the reach of the people in a single handy volume, all the information which they naturally desire respecting this great soldier, sincere patriot, and naturally astute statesman. With these remarks the subject is committed to the candid judgment of the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
