In Ulysses S. Grant: A Bibliography, Dr. Kelsey has created an
invaluable resource for Grant scholars. The bibliography consists
of twenty chapters covering Grant's early life, his careers both as
soldier and as president, his associations with various
individuals, his post-presidency activities, the role alcohol
played in his life, his battle with throat cancer, and ultimately,
his tragic death. What makes this book truly special is that Kelsey
cites not only the usual books and journals but also a wide variety
of nontraditional materials ranging from manuscripts to musical
scores. Additionally, she has created a list of cited journals with
OCLC numbers, making precise identification of old and obscure
journals easy for researchers. Kelsey's sources are varied and
multidimensional: she includes scholarly, popular, and ephemeral
works to present the fullest possible picture of the legendary
president. Kelsey also lists many obscure sources on not only Grant
but also his associates, including all his cabinet members. The
work includes citations about
- Julia Dent Grant
- Other Grant family members
- Grant's cabinet members
- John Rawlins
- William Tecumseh Sherman
- Ely Parker
- Abraham Lincoln
Libraries of all types could benefit from including this resource
in the reference collection. The text might get the most use in
historical society libraries, as well as in the libraries of
colleges and universities. Public libraries and private individuals
interested in Grant and the Civil War would also appreciate the
book's comprehensive nature.
