Boy's Life of General Grant

The book is in fair condition, with no dust jacket. The cover shows signs of wear, particularly along the edges and spine, consistent with its age. The binding remains intact, and the pages, while slightly yellowed, are clean and free of inscriptions or library markings.

Boy's Life of General Grant by Thomas W. Knox, published by The Werner Company in 1899, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Ulysses S. Grant, focusing on key battles such as Shiloh, Vicksburg, Donelson, and Appomattox. This hardcover edition, printed in Akron, Ohio, along with New York and Chicago, is a testament to Knox's detailed narrative style, known for works such as The Boy Travellers. Though first published by The Merriam Company in 1895, this edition reflects the 1899 copyright by The Werner Company. This book is an illustrated biography that captures the essence of Grant’s military prowess and leadership during the Civil War, making it a valuable addition for collectors of historical biographies. The absence of a dust jacket and its condition, typical of books over a century old, adds to its vintage appeal.
