Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Great Captains: Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, and Farragut The biographies of living men who have achieved distinction, are always so attractive to the public, that we deem no apology necessary for presenting in a single portable volume, sketches of the lives of those who are pre-eminently our Great Captains. There have been, we are aware, four or five previous attempts to give publicity to the life and services of Lieutenant-General Grant; but while the greater part have dealt largely in fiction, none have attempted, as we have done, to give the later incidents of a military career now rounding into completeness, by the suppression, through his skilful and persistent strategy, of the Great Rebellion. The incidents of General Sherman´s life have also been once or twice related, but with a want of appreciation of his peculiar and transcendent genius, which leaves much to he desired, and which we have endeavored to sup ply. No carefully prepared biographical sketch of Thomas, Sheridan, or Farragut has, we believe, been hitherto attempted.
