Sinopse
Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States and commander of the Union forces in the Civil War, tells the story of his life in his own words. In this opening volume, Grant covers his early years, including his time at the U.S. military academy at West Point and his service during the Mexican War under Zachary Taylor. Grant wrote his memoirs in order to rescue his family from debt and they were published as he lay dying of throat cancer. Today, they are an American classic.

Resumo editorial
According to many historians, Ulysses S. Grant’s accomplishments as the 18th president of the United States were surpassed by his deeds as a Civil War general and a writer. In The Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant: Part One: The Early Years, West Point, Mexico Grant’s literary gifts are displayed as he speaks about his military campaigns.
First published in 1885, this book covers Grant’s childhood and military training. Many listeners will take greater interest in passages on the Civil War. Grant writes about these military campaigns with eye-opening detail and offers his insights on contemporaries like Abraham Lincoln and General Sherman.
With a deep, resonant voice reminiscent of a newscaster, Peter Johnson intones Grant’s words with authority.
