Some Hidden Thunder

U.S. Grant #3

by Jeffrey Marks

In the third book in this series, US Grant and his wife visit Cincinnati, just down the road from Georgetown and Bethel. At a gala political function, Grant thinks that he sees an apparition. When the ghost disappears and a reporter stumbles on the scene, Grant knows that he has to solve the mystery of the ghost and why it would appear to him. Taking on the issues of 19th century spiritualism and the recently freed slave, this book looks at the ways the nation changed in the months following the end of the Civil War.

I loved this book. Hearing about General Grant’s struggles with the North integrating with the refugees from the South after the Civil War made me realize how much is left out of history books. It also made me so angry, again, at the arrogance’s so the White race. We have caused so much pain and suffering to this planet that we must have the mark of Cain on us. We have much to answer for. Unfortunately our children will mostly be unaware of how we destroyed so many cultures. Glad to be reminded in this book.

Good mystery, but great info about Grant and the mode of the nation shortly after the Civil War.
