Description
1885 1ed Our Hero General US Grant Civil War Illustrated Battle Children’s



“The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.”

– Ulysses S. Grant



Edwin Austin Forbes was an American landscape painter and etcher who first gained fame during the American Civil War for his detailed and dramatic sketches of military subjects. Josephine Pollard’s book “Our Hero, General U.S. Grant” is a recounting of Grant’s life during the Civil War for the purpose of boys. It was written with a break down syllabically to help children gain an insight and imagination into the Civil War in hopes of encouraging ‘small boys to fear God – to do right, - to speak the truth, -to love peace, and to be brave and true through and through.’ Pollard includes Grant’s time:

As a boy

At West Point

Fort Henry and Fort Donelson

Siege of Corinth

Seife of Vicksburg

At Chattanooga

Battle of the Wilderness

Siege of Petersburg

Fight at Cedar Creek and Five Forks

And more!



This 1885 first edition includes a pictorial binding and 86 black and white illustrations with 15 full page illustrations by Edwin Forbes!
