Excerpt from Grant, Lincoln and the Freedmen: Reminiscences of the Civil War, With Special Reference to the Work for the Contrabands and Freedmen of the Mississippi Valley My wish in the first place is to give a faithful picture of the great President and the great General who guided us through the most tragic period of our National life. I do not pretend to write in any general sense of the military career Of Grant or the political life of Lincoln, but only of those incidents in connection with which I came into per sonal contact with these two men, and, above all, Of the character and standards Of each as I saw them. One of the strongest safeguards to American life is devotion to our heroes and reverence for the ideals to which they pledged themselves. Grant and Lincoln were pre-eminent among those who sacrificed the personal to the National life, and we can never look too closely to the examples which they prepared for us.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, which helps us understand this literary work. We must pay special attention to those events that especially influenced the world of culture and art and also to those events that were especially reflected in literature, in the life of its writer or that affected it. There are many examples in which historical events have shaped the content and forms of literature, as well as this has often been the best testimony to the importance of certain events throughout history. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time.William T. Sherman (Lancaster, Ohio, February 8, 1820-New York, February 14, 1891) was an American military man, educator, and writer. His celebrity comes from his participation with the rank of general in the United States Civil War (1861-1865), where he received both praise for his efficient use of military strategy, as well as strong questions for his relentless scorched earth policy that he applied in the so-called total war against the enemy. This policy has earned him the qualification, by some authors, of "the first modern general."In 1864, Sherman replaced General Grant as Commander of the Union on the western front of the war. He led the capture of the strategic city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman subsequently marched through Georgia and the Carolinas through small fights and implementing large-scale destruction of the cotton plantations and other infrastructure, with the aim of undermining the capacity and will of the Confederates who continued to fight for their independence. Sherman accepted the surrender of all Confederate armies in the Carolinas

"This memoir is an annotated reprint of a book that was originally published in 1907. Its principal author, John Eaton (1829-1906), was a chaplain in Ulysses S. Grant's army who as early as 1862 was charged by Grant with setting up contraband camps for fleeing slaves. Eaton eventually became general superintendent of contrabands for the Department of the Tennessee, and his approach to humanitarian aid and educational efforts, even as war was raging, was one of the first systematic attempts to deal with how newly freed people would be assimilated into the Union as citizens following the war. Later, Eaton's efforts would be the basis for the Freedman's Bureau and its mandate to bring newly freed slaves into American society"--

One of the most remarkable books to come out of the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War was William F.G. Shank's book on the generals he observed up close and personal all during the war. As a correspondent for Harper's Magazine and the New York Herald, Shank followed through camp and battle, seeing the strengths but also the foibles and failings of some of our most prominent Union leaders. Shank does not shy from including illuminating details that he was later told may have offended the subjects of his treatments. But he is admiring of the men he met and admirably creates portraits of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Rousseau, Thomas, Hooker, and others that you will not read elsewhere. As he states in the preface: "Very few generals have appeared great to the war correspondents; and though very few of the latter can claim to be descendants of Diogenes, they can assert, with equal positiveness, that very few of the generals have been Alexanders, and that 'the very sun shines through them.'" An interesting note included about Rousseau (one of our least written-about generals) is that during his legal career, he successfully tried a veritable "To Kill a Mockingbird" case. No student of the war should be without this volume. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
