Publisher's Synopsis
Ulysses S Grant: The Forgotten Hero You might know Ulysses S. Grant as a Civil War hero and as the 18th President of the United States, but we will introduce you to the heart and soul of the man who brought freedom and equality to a troubled America. Within the pages of this book, you'll discover how Grant motivated and inspired a nation to rise above the dark days of slavery and financial ruin and search their hearts for justice for all. You'll battle with Grant and his men at Vicksburg, and be there when General Lee surrenders at Appomattox. When the Civil War ends, you'll travel with Grant out West to settle the Native Americans, and you'll experience "Custer's Last Stand." You'll share in Grant's epic victories and colossal failures as he serves as President of the United States. Your heart will be broken as you read about the devastating disease that finally took his life only three days after he completed his memoirs. As the funeral procession passes through the streets of New York, you'll be there with the millions of people to pay their respects to one of the greatest leaders of his time. When you have finished, you can look at the America you live in today and ask yourself if you are strong enough and determined enough to promote the ideas, beliefs, and values that were initiated by Ulysses S. Grant.
