A well researched study of U S Grant’s life before the Civil War. This work is a rare look at Mr. Grant’s early life.

The nearly 40 years of his early life were relatively unknown until Mr. Lewis published this work. After Mr. Lewis’ unexpected death, Mr Catton completed the trilogy with 2 volumes during Grant’s military service in the War.
