First editions of the first 18 volumes in this massive project encompassing Ulysses Grant's letters, and correspondence from his Prewar career through Reconstruction. Beginning with his 17-year-old cadet letters home at West Point, and then service in Louisiana, Texas, the Mexican War, and at Fort Vancouver, entry into the Civil War, the early campaigns of Fort Donelson, Battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg, ascension to Lieutenant General, the battles of Petersburg, Cold Harbor & the Wilderness, General Sherman's March, Appomattox, assassination of President Lincoln, the capture of Jefferson Davis, and finally the disbanding of the immense Union Army. Simon (d. 2008) drew upon a vast number of previously unpublished, or unknown, letters, memorandum, and writings of Grant, and together with extensive notes and analysis offered an essential research tool for the study of American History, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the steps to the Grant Presidency. The set continues in production, and Simon himself oversaw the first 31 annotated volumes. He also edited the memoirs of Julia Dent Grant.
