Loved it! So fascinating!
Another prez from Ohio. Grant liked horses, booze, and cigars. He was a brave general who helped the Union win the war. Mark Twain helped him publish and promote his biography to help support his family shortly before his death.
106 pages. Very good book about a famous President and Civil War hero. The book includes additional information on Mexican-American War, What Started the Civil War, Robert E. Lee, and Border States. There are lots of sketches and maps to help a reader understand this famous life. Great layout and information for a report. Highly recommended for Grades 4-5.

I think this is a fantastic book!! It is one of my favorite books!!
He went from a boy with no name to a man with several.
A good overview of Ulysses S. Grant. It was great to read this book and the the Who Was Robert E. Lee book back to back. Interesting to see different perspectives.

I am a big fan of the “Who Was” books! And once again, this book is no exception. Full of wonderful information that is both interesting, yet to the point, this book covers Ulysses S. Grant’s whole life. Because it is not long and drawn out, and with the wonderful black and white illustrations, this book is wonderful for the younger elementary ages (3rd and 4th) as well as older kids through middle school. I read this to my 3rd grade son as well as my 7th grade daughter. They both enjoyed it and...
There are a lot of misconceptions about Grant. He made mistakes, but his failings were rarely moral. My kids enjoyed learning about him enough to rattle off aspects of his life story to my wife at the dinner table. Clear and accessible for any age.
