On The Trail Of Grant And Lee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419138874)

On The Trail Of Grant And Lee is a historical book written by Frederick Trevor Hill. The book is an account of the Civil War and the lives of two of its most prominent generals, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. The author takes the reader on a journey through the war, exploring the strategies and tactics used by both sides, and delving into the personal lives and experiences of the two generals. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the war. The first part covers the early years of the conflict, from the first shots at Fort Sumter to the Battle of Gettysburg. The second part focuses on the later years of the war, including the siege of Petersburg and the surrender at Appomattox. The final part of the book explores the aftermath of the war, including the Reconstruction era and the legacy of Grant and Lee.Throughout the book, Hill provides detailed descriptions of the battles and events of the war, as well as insights into the personalities and motivations of Grant and Lee. He also includes quotes and anecdotes from soldiers and civilians who lived through the war, giving the reader a sense of what it was like to experience this tumultuous period in American history.Overall, On The Trail Of Grant And Lee is a comprehensive and engaging account of the Civil War and the lives of two of its most important figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history or the Civil War.It is certainly strange that these two men should, with all the world to choose from, have chanced upon the same obscure little village, but it is still stranger that one of them should have become the employer of the other and that they should both have lived in the very same house. Such, however, is the fact, for when Jesse Grant first began to earn his living as a tanner, he worked for and boarded with Owen Brown, little dreaming that his son and his employer's son would some day shake the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
