“Do right and fear not”; “Let us have peace” .... a fitting quotes for this current day.
Know your history for you are bound to repeat it. There’s nothing new under the sun.

This account was hard to follow with no maps included in the book and not much reference to the name or cause of the war Grant fought in. It might not seem necessary to spell it out, but since the book was written for younger readers, an introduction would have been nice, as well as defining what the "boys in blue" stood for and what the "boys in grey" were fighting for. A redeeming feature was pulling away from the book the characteristics of General Grant: what kind of man he was. I probably wouldn't read it again, but I am intrigued to read General Grant's own Memoirs.
