Other noteworthy topics include: The Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Vicksburg, Grant at Missionary Ridge, Notes on Abraham Lincoln’s second Inauguration, and Grant’s perspective on Sherman’s March. This book is in very good condition for its over 150-year age; the construction is strong with minor wear to the brown cover. The book has gold embossed lettering on the spine and Grant’s signature on the cover. The book measures 7 3/4" x 5 1/4" x 1 ¼".
