Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Gen'l U. S. Grant, the General in Chief of the United States Army
War has been characteristic of the whole world in all ages, and each contest has produced its hero and its gen' eral. But few great generals have, however, been mani fested by those wars. Ancient times certainly brought forth Xerxes, Cyrus, Caesar, and Alexander; the middle ages Richard C oeur de Leon, and Edward the black prince, and in modern times Napoleon, Washington and Frederick.
