About This Item
Synopsis
From April 1864 until the end of the war Horace Porter served as lieutenant colonel attached to Ulysses S. Grant's staff. He accompanied Grant into battle in the Wilderness, Cold Harbor & Petersburg campaigns and was there at the Þnal surrender at McLean's house. During this time he kept extensive notes of Grant's conversations, as well as of his own observations of military life. Porter brings to his recollections not only a soldier's practiced eye, but also a writer's intelligence. His portrait of Grant is the most incisive and readable Þrst-hand account that we have.
