Riassunto:
His friends called him “Sam.” His wife called him “Lyss” or “Victor.” His initials inspired a nickname tied to one of his greatest battlefield triumphs: “Unconditional Surrender Grant.” He quietly told his brother in April of 1861, while walking home after a recruiting meeting in Galena, Illinois, “I am in to do all I can.” And so he did. The unassuming Grant never expected to play a significant role in the Civil War, yet by its end, commanded every soldier in the United States armed forces.Born in a modest clapboard house at Point Pleasant, Ohio, on the banks of the Ohio River, he first made his military mark near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. His successes at Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, and eventually Vicksburg earned him the steadfast support of President Abraham Lincoln: “Grant,” he declared, “is my man and I am his the rest of the war!” After saving a Federal army in Chattanooga, he was promoted to lieutenant general and put in command of all Union forces. He made his headquarters in the field with the Army of the Potomac and oversaw the campaigns against Robert E. Lee, from the Wilderness through the prolonged siege of Petersburg and, finally, Appomattox Court House. His ultimate victory paved the way for two terms in the White House.Unconditional Surrender invites readers to follow Grant’s journey with Dr. Curt Fields, the nation’s foremost Ulysses S. Grant living historian, and noted Civil War author Chris Mackowski. Drawing on years of extensive research, this book offers an ideal introduction to the “dust-covered man” from the Midwest who won the Civil War and preserved the United States.

Product Description:His friends called him âSam.â His wife called him âUlyss.â His initials inspired a nickname tied to one of his greatest battlefield triumphs: ââUnconditional Surrenderâ Grant.â Ulysses S. Grant never expected to play a role in the Civil War, yet by its end, he commanded every soldier in the United States Army. Along the way, he secured impressive victories, learned from critical mistakes, broke the Confederacyâs resolve, overcame the criticism of his immediate superior, and earned the steadfast support of the president. âGrant is my man and I am his the rest of the war!â exclaimed Abraham Lincoln after the pivotal victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Born in a modest clapboard house along the Ohio River, Grant first made his military mark near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. He later used âthe Father of Watersâ to split the Confederacy in two. This success propelled him to Chattanooga, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the prolonged siege of Petersburg, and finally Appomattox Court Houseâ"some of the warâs most intense and infamous battles. In under three years, the unassuming colonel of an Illinois volunteer regiment rose to become the armyâs highest-ranking officer and the first permanent lieutenant general since George Washington. His ultimate victory paved the way for two terms in the White House. Ulysses S. Grantâs meteoric rise from obscurity made him a figure of profound irony: unassuming, unpretentious, yet resolute. âThere will be no turning back,â he once famously declared. Unconditional Surrender invites readers to follow Grantâs journey with Dr. Curt Fields, the nationâs foremost Ulysses S. Grant living historian. Since February 2010, Fields has portrayed Grant in first-person reenactments. Drawing on years of extensive research, this book offers an ideal introduction to the âdust-covered manâ from the West who won the Civil War and preserved the United States.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. His friends called him Sam. His wife called him Ulyss. His initials suggested a name evocative of one of his most important battlefield successes: 'Unconditional Surrender' Grant. Ulysses S. Grant didn't think he'd even have an opportunity to get into the war, yet, by the time it ended, he commanded every soldier serving in the United States Army. Along the way he racked up impressive victories, learned from valuable mistakes, broke the back of the Confederacy, survived the backbiting of his immediate superior, and earned the respect and support of the president. Grant is my man and I am his the rest of the war! exclaimed Abraham Lincoln after the particularly vital victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Grant came from humble beginnings along the Ohio River, made a military name for himself near that river's confluence with the Mississippi, and went on to use the Father of Waters to split the Confederacy in two. That effort set him on the road to Chattanooga, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the long siege of Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House in some of the war's most intense and infamous battles. In less than three years, the non-descript and unimpressive colonel of a regiment of Illinois volunteers rose to become the highest-ranking officer in the army and the first permanent lieutenant general since George Washington. His ultimate victory set him on a path to two terms in the White House-a far cry from that small clapboard house in which he was born. His meteoric rise from obscurity made Ulysses S. Grant the ultimate man of irony. Unassuming. Unpretentious. Unwilling to retreat. There will be no turning back, he once famously declared. Unconditional Surrender allows readers to walk in Grant's footsteps with Dr. Curt Fields, the nation's foremost Ulysses S. Grant living historian. Fields has offered a first-person portrayal of Grant since February 2010\. Distilled within these pages are years of extensive study that offer an ideal introduction to the dust-covered man from the West who won the Civil War and saved the United States. AUTHOR: Curt Fields is a living historian portraying General and President Ulysses S. Grant. He has appeared on the porches of the McLean house at Appomattox Court House as General Grant, the Grant home at White Haven in St. Louis as Captain Grant, and the McGregor Cottage in Wilton, New York, as former President Grant where the dying hero spent his last days. Fields holds a Ph.D. in educational administration and curriculum and is a retired secondary school principal and adjunct college instructor. He was also a Memphis, Tennessee, police officer and hostage negotiator. 100 images, 10 maps Distilled within these pages are years of extensive study that offer an ideal introduction to the dust-covered man from the West who won the Civil War and saved the United States.
