Grant is scratching out words, hour after hour, day after day. Desperate to complete his memoirs before his death so his family might have some financial security and he some redemption, Grant journeys back in time. He had once been the savior of the Union, the general to whom Lee surrendered at Appomattox, a twice-elected president who fought for the civil rights of Black Americans and against the rising Ku Klux Klan, a plain farmer-turned-business magnate who lost everything to a Wall Street swindler, a devoted husband to his wife Julia and loving father to four children. In this gorgeously rendered and moving novel, Grant rises from the page in all of his contradictions and foibles, his failures and triumphs -- Adapted from back of container. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction 655 7 $a Historical fiction 655 7 $a Audiobooks, CD 700 1 $a Frazier, Gibson 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724020731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=225855CC498311EFAB853F282BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
