1864 CIVIL WAR 1^st/1^st General Ulysses Grant Campaigns Larke Military Americana

A rare first edition of Julian K. Larke’s fascinating historical biography on General Ulysses S. Grant and his military campaigns during the American Civil War. Entitled simply, ‘General Grant and His Campaigns,’ this work exhaustively details Grant’s military career along with the specifics of each of his military campaigns during the ongoing Civil War. Notably, while most historical accounts on this subject were written post-war or even well into Grant’s eventual presidency, this title was written during the war.

Per Larke’s introduction:

“…the subject of [this book] is but forty-one years of age; has participated in two great wars; has captured during the present struggle five hundred guns, one hundred thousand prisoners, and a quarter of a million of small arms; has redeemed from rebel rule over fifty thousand square miles of territory; has reopened to the commerce of the world the mightiest highway on the globe; has stubbornly pursue his settled path in spite of all obstacles, and has never been beaten. All this has been realized not with any desire to gain glory for himself, but for the sole and patriotic purpose of securing the restoration of the Union.”
