PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF U. S. GRANT

Published in 1885-86 by C. L. Webster & Co. in New York, this two-volume edition contains plates, maps and facsimiles that help tell the story of Ulysses S. Grant's military career during the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War.

You can stop by the Bullis Room and read this biography from cover to cover,  if you wish,  or focus on  Grant's account of his American Civil War experiences.

This is a good time to refresh and add to our knowledge of the war between the states, since this month is the 150th anniversary of General Robert E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses R. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

And - just a reminder - the shelves in the Bullis Room contain a number of other good books on the American Civil War.  If you stop by, we'll  lead you to them.
