Featured in this lot 1885 copy of “Our Hero, General U.S. Grant: Where, When and How He Fought”. Edwin Austin Forbes was an American landscape painter and etcher, who first gained fame during the American Civil War for his detailed and dramatic sketches of military subjects. Josephine Pollard's book, “Our Hero, General U.S. Grant”, is a recounting of Grant's life during the Civil War for the purpose of boys. It was written with a break down syllabically to help children gain an insight and imagination into the Civil War in hopes of encouraging small boys “…to fear God—to do right—to speak the truth—to love peace—and to be brave and true through and through...” The condition of this book is good, with wear consistent with the age of the book. The measurements of this book are 9" x 7 1/2".
