This comprehensive volume contains all known documents, both
military and private, written by and to Grant during the first six
months of the Civil War. Of unusual interest are his letters to his
wife, father, and sister which provide the best insight into his
complex character. Thirty of the letters to Julia have never before
been published. The letters trace Grant's early career as a Civil
War officer to his promotion to brigadier general. His assignments
to command at Ironton and Jefferson City, Missouri, and Cairo,
Illinois, are fully covered. At Cairo, Grant's area of
responsi-bility straddled the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, forming
a military command Grant considered to be "third in importance in
the country." From here he advanced the first federal troops into
Kentucky, winning recognition for quick, sure judgment and military
competence which started him on the road to Appomattox. A new and
deepening picture of Grant continues to emerge with the publication
of these letters. Important as original history, they deserve
reading for their own sake.
