About this title

From Booklist:

Gr. 8-11. In this well-written biography, Rice presents Ulysses S. Grant, touching upon his Ohio boyhood, education at West Point, service in the Mexican War, military leadership during the Civil War, and two terms as president. Rice portrays Grant in an evenhanded manner, making good use of source materials for apt quotations. Particularly intriguing are the connections drawn between Grant's experiences as a young man and his later preferences, abilities, and decisions. Like other books in the Civil War Leaders series, this has an accessible look, with reproductions of period paintings, prints, photos, maps, and documents adding color and visual interest. Back matter includes a time line, source notes, a bibliography, and a list of Internet sites. The relatively high reading level will slow some middle-school students, but more able readers will find this a fine introduction to Grant's life. Other recent volumes in the series include biographies of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Carolyn Phelan
