During the American Civil War, Sylvanus Cadwallader, a war correspondent employed first by the Chicago Times and later as correspondent in chief of the New York Herald, was attached to Grant's headquarters from 1862 to 1865. This book is his account of that period. As a portrait of Grant and as a civilian's picture of how the war was fought at the command level, and as a hitherto unknown primary source of Civil War history, this is a important book.
