  • Orr on Flood, 'Grant's Final Victory: Ulysses S. Grant's Heroic Last Year'
    H-CivWar Orr on Flood, 'Grant's Final Victory: Ulysses S. Grant's Heroic Last Year' Review published on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Charles Bracelen Flood. Grant's Final Victory: Ulysses S. Grant's Heroic Last Year. Cambridge: Da Capo Press, 2011. 320 pp. $27.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-306-82028-1. Reviewed by Timothy J. Orr (Old Dominion University)Published on H-CivWar (April, 2013) Commissioned by Martin Johnson In Grant’s Final Victory, Charles Bracelen Flood examines the last fourteen months of life of America’s eighteenth president. It is a narrative history describing Ulysses S. Grant’s loss of fortune, his diagnosis with terminal throat cancer, and his effort to put his memories of the Civil War into words before the cold embrace of death set in. Flood’s book has no discernible argument, but his narrative paints a heroic picture of Grant, depicting him as a man of determination, firmly resolved to fix every problem affecting his family and reputation until death called him elsewhere. Flood’s book begins in May 1884, with the collapse of Grant’s Wall Street firm. That month, newspapers broke the news that Grant’s business partner, Ferdinand Ward, in collusion with the president of New York City’s Marine Bank, James D. Fish, had swindled investors out of more than sixteen million dollars. The resulting financial disaster propelled Grant’s family into ruin. Then, on June 2, less than one month after this ill news, Grant experienced terrible throat pain. By October, physicians determined that he suffered from terminal throat cancer, the result of decades of cigar smoking.

  • A Struggle for Respect Lew Wallace’S Relationships with Ulysses S
    A Struggle for Respect Lew Wallace’s Relationships with Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman After Shiloh WILLIAM M. FERRARO ew Wallace, born on April 10, 1827, in Brookville, Indiana, aspired Lto greatness. Given a better than average start socially, politically, and economically, Wallace went on to achieve fame as a soldier, govern- ment official, and author before his death in 1905. Of the many relation- ships with other prominent Americans that he enjoyed over this long and active life, none proved more complex or troubling than those Wallace maintained with two of the best-known public figures of the nineteenth century: Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman. The purpose of this article is to examine why Wallace continued to turn to these men for advice and assistance in the weeks and years after April _________________________ William M. Ferraro is an assistant professor and assistant editor with the Papers of George Washington at the University of Virginia. He has a long-standing interest in the lives and rela- tionships of John and William Tecumseh Sherman, and his current book project studies the extended Sherman family during the Civil War. He wishes to thank the Indiana Magazine of History’s anonymous reviewer and staff members Eric Sandweiss and Cynthia Gwynne Yaudes for helping to focus and strengthen this article. He also thanks the Interlibrary Loan Department of the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia for facilitating the procure- ment of the Lew Wallace papers on microfilm, and Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko for inviting him to participate in the 2005 Lew Wallace Symposium.

Random House, $24.95 ISBN 679642730 Conquers on the Mississippi New York Times bestsellers At a time when presidential memoirs and presidential legacies dominate newscasts, talk shows, and what passes for historical analysis on television, it is perhaps fitting that we reflect on how much Americans really don't know about the eighteenth president of the United States, a man who wrote the most impressive autobiography ever penned by a former chief executive and whose own deathwatch and funeral were among the most moving events of the late 19th century. For Ulysses S. Grant has been in the news for the past month, sometimes in ways that typify the profound historical ignorance of precisely those people who claim that they possess some sort of expertise and historical insight into the American past. Take Charles Schumer, New York's senior United States senator, who moved that Ronald Reagan should displace Grant on the fifty dollar bill, because Grant was a butcher as a general and a stumbling ignoramus as president û perhaps next he'll propose bulldozing Grant's Tomb to provide a new stadium for the Yankees.

The two authors combine the same crystal clear description of events, the masterful strategy, the commentary on the events that put them in the field, and the perceptive evaluation of the characters of their own warriors and the leaders of the enemy. Grant finished the manuscript on July 18; he died five days later. He married Hannah Simpson at age Perret backs these accusations with the fact Grant, while appointed the General-in-Chief, "evolved the future of the United States Army" by applying "maximum firepower, maximum mobility" while relying on "the wide envelopment" as his principal form of maneuver. I can better trust those who have helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. Five days after General Grant finished the memoir, he died. Facing his mortality, Grant struck a publishing deal with his friend Mark Twain for his memoirs, hoping that they would provide for his family after his death.
