Grant -- College life -- The evils of slavery -- Just a taste of liquor -- Fighting the war -- Grant and Lincoln -- Let us have peace -- Gilded Age corruption -- Touring the world -- A final farewell. 520 $a "In this new short biography of Ulysses S. Grant, leading scholars provide an accessible introduction to Grant and his legacy. Grant led Federal forces to victory in the Civil War, was the first modern American President, and authored his memoirs, which would eventually become one of the greatest books of non-fiction by an American author. The authors present the latest scholarship on Grant, providing the necessary insight to appreciate Grant and correct the myths which for too long clouded his true importance. They highlight specific moments or relationships in Grant's life--including his connection to key figures such as Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain--and elaborate on the more controversial elements of Grant's legacy, such as his alcoholism and corruption during the Grant presidency. Not to overlook his military accomplishments, they devote time to the study of Grant's war strategy and military career, beginning as early as his reluctant enrollment into West Point. From humble birth to tragic death, this new take on Ulysses S. Grant instills readers with a deeper understanding of the military legend's nuanced personal history and an appreciation for the late president's tragic and triumphant story." -- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Grant, Ulysses S. $q (Ulysses Simpson), $d 1822-1885. 600 17 $a Grant, Ulysses S. $q (Ulysses Simpson), $d 1822-1885. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00061535 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Generals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Nolen, David S., $e author. 700 1 $a Gallo, Louie P., $e author. 700 1 $a Williams, Frank J., $e author. 700 1 $a Keenum, Mark E., $e author of afterword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Marszalek, John F., 1939- author. $t Hold on with a bulldog grip $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2019] $z 9781496824127 $w (DLC) 2018056999 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105022451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=644E0EDCFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
