Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Ulysses S. Grant: Containing a Brief but Faithful Narrative of Those Military and Diplomatic Achievements Which Have Entitled Him to the Confidence and Gratitude of His Countrymen In these few pages we present the character of a thoughtful, reserved, taciturn man, - a man of tireless energies, of great breadth of comprehension, of the highest order of administrative genius., No man can read these pages without being convinced that General Grant is, in mental capacity, one of the foremost men of the present age. To lead a charge on the field of battle requires but little save the heroism of courage. But to conduct a campaign like that of Vicksburg, or Chattanooga, or Richmond demands the highest order of intellect. All the resources of which the mind is capable are called into exercise. The man who has thus been tested proves himself qualified for any administrative duty which may be assigned to him. We speak of General Grant as not being. A man of words. And yet there is great power in the few words which he does use. His despatches are models brief, comprehensive, clear, no man can misunderstand them. The energy with which General Grant grappled with the Rebellion, the self-denying patriotism with which he consecrated himself to the service of the country, and the achievements to which he led the glorious armies of the Republic, giving our nation new renown throughout the world.

Download or read book General Grant and the Verdict of History written by Frank P Varney and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Ulysses S. Grant is best remembered today as a war-winning general, and he certainly deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of the Union. But has he received too much credit at the expense of other men? Have others who fought the war with him suffered unfairly at his hands? General Grant and the Verdict of History: Memoir, Memory, and the Civil War explores these issues. Professor Frank P. Varney examines Grants relationship with three noted Civil War generals: the brash and uncompromising Fighting Joe Hooker; George H. Thomas, the stellar commander who earned the sobriquet Rock of Chickamauga; and Gouverneur Kemble Warren, who served honorably and well in every major action of the Army of the Potomac before being relieved less than two weeks before Appomattox, and only after he had played a prominent part in the major Union victory at Five Forks. In his earlier book General Grant and the Rewriting of History, Dr. Varney studied the tempestuous relationship between Grant and Union General William S. Rosecrans. During the war, Rosecrans was considered by many of his contemporaries to be on par with Grant himself; today, he is largely forgotten. Rosecranss star dimmed, argues Varney, because Grant orchestrated the effort. Unbeknownst to most students of the war, Grant used his official reports, interviews with the press, and his memoirs to influence how future generations would remember the war and his part in it. Aided greatly by his two terms as president, by the clarity and eloquence of his memoirs, and in particular by the dramatic backdrop against which those memoirs were written, our historical memory has been influenced to a degree greater than many realize. It is beyond time to return to the original sourcesthe letters, journals, reports, and memoirs of other witnesses and the transcripts of courts-martial to examine Grants story from a fresh perspective. The results are enlightening and more than a little disturbing.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant and the Period of National Preservation and Reconstruction During four years of civil strife, from 1861 to 1865, more than three millions of Americans - North and South - wore the uniform of the soldier, and in over twenty-two hundred and fifty recorded battles and skirmishes nearly half a million suffered wounds or death. Theories of peace, founded upon a government by the people, have not saved us from contributing our full share to the battle roll of the century. For this loss we find compensation in the fact that these years of conflict, of suffering, and of death, formed an heroic period in American history. Individual selfishness was largely absorbed in the larger self-interest of State and Country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Let others better versed in military lore discuss details of strategy for which Grant had himself but little use. War as a game bad'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! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Great Commander In connection with his entrance to West Point, Grant twice changed his name. Up to that time he had been known as Hiram Ulysses, or 11. Ulysses Grant. On a trunk he was to take to West Point the maker, after the fashion of those days, formed three large initials with brass-headed nails. When he saw these, and realized what the cadets would do with the letters "H. U. G.," Grant changed the order of his given names and registered at West Point as Ulysses H. Grant. Meanwhile, Congressman Hamer, in his appointment papers, had guessed at Grant s middle letter, and knowing that his mother was a Simpson made it S. and it was entered in this way on the records of the War Department. Learning of the trouble and the delay which a correction would involve, young Grant said, "so let it be," and without further opposition to fate or to friends he settled down to live with the name which he was to place far up at the top among those his country delights to honor Ulysses Simpson Grant. Concerning his smoking habits, General F. D. Grant tells us that his father was an occasional smoker only until the Battle of Fort Donelson. At that time he visited one of the War vessels to call on Admiral Foote, who had been wounded. The Admiral gave the General a cigar. He had hardly lit it when he received an urgent summons to come ashore and meet an attack. He hurried to the front with the cigar in his mouth, and became so engrossed in the struggle that he kept it in his possession during the entire engagement. In reporting this battle some newspaper man stated that General Grant appeared on the field with a cigar in his mouth, and the country got that statement together with the most important news of the fall of Fort Donelson. The result was that a flood of cigars from everywhere poured in upon the General. He soon had received eleven thousand. To reduce this surplus he gave away and smoked away, the second method establishing the habit which continued throughout his life.
