Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Grant´s Letters to a Friend, 1861-1880 Perhaps no other person not connected with the military service contributed in so great a degree to General Grant´s success in the American Civil War of 1861-1865, as the Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, to whom the following forty-eight letters and parts of letters were addressed, during a period of nineteen years. Beginning in the first year of the war the correspondence was continued uninterruptedly until after the close of Grant´s second administration and his return from the extended tour around the world. The letters are certainly of no inconsiderable historical value, being dated in many instances from such famous battle-fields as Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and the Wilderness, and revealing in an interesting manner many of the strongest and most admirable traits of General Grant´s character. These private communications contain his views upon men and affairs in the western hemisphere, as well as in many of the foreign lands which he visited.
