Synopsis "Our Hero General U. S. Grant: When, Where, and How He Fought, in Words of One Syllable"

This illustrated biography of Ulysses S. Grant is designed for younger readers curious to learn about one of the United States' finest generals, who went on to be elected President of the nation.Written in a hyphenated style which emphasizes the individual syllables of words, this memoir aims to summarize the origins, rise and military achievements of U.S. Grant. We are told of how Grant behaved as a youngster born in a modest household, how his talents for soldierly duties developed, and how his victories in the U.S. Civil War made him celebrated as one of the country's greatest heroes. His famous meeting with Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the Appomattox Courthouse, where Lee surrendered his army, is also related.More than 80 vivid sketches accompany this text, and together these help the reader picture the times in which Grant lived. They illustrate his finest moments of heroism, together with the battlegrounds and places in which he honed and proved his talents. Readers will witness how army life and the technology of the time were very different from today. Yet the noblest of human virtues - many expressed by Ulysses S. Grant - remain constant through history.
