Grant's staff. He accompanied Grant into battle in the Wilderness, Cold Harbor & Petersburg campaigns and was there at the final surrender at McLean's house. During this time he kept extensive notes of Grant's conversations, as well as of his own observations of military life. Porter brings to his recollections not only a soldier's practiced eye, but also a writer's intelligence. His portrait of Grant is the most incisive and readable first~hand account that we have. We see Grant as soldier and hear in his own words the tactical evaluations that led to many of the war's most critical decisions. We find ourselves in the midst of battle and see the general's indifference to personal safety and his compassion for his men. At the same time there is a wealth of fascinating anecdotes, such as the general's own description of how he became a confirmed cigar smoker. Through these pages pass many of the other great figures of the war. We read of Grant's dealings with Lincoln, of the close relationship between Sherman & Grant, of Lee's noble bearing at the culminating meeting of these two great opponents. Here is an account both stirring and down~to~earth, that brings to life our country's most memorable conflict.…
