5.0 out of 5 stars
A Grant Treasury,
This review is from: Ulysses S. Grant: A Bibliography (Bibliographies of the Presidents of the United States) (Hardcover)
While the high list price may scare the general reader from this work, it is a valuable research tool for anyone wishing to develop an in-depth interest in Grant. Although a truly complete bibliography on Grant may be impossible to compile, Kelsey, as far as I can see, has come commendably close. No matter what aspect of Grant's life you wish to study--his childhood, military career, Presidency, his Memoirs, etc.--you are sure to be steered to a plethora of citations, intelligently and frequently wittily annotated.
A postscript: I also appreciated Kelsey's pointed reference to Grant's "Alleged Alcohol Problem," as well as her implied willingness to speak favorably of Grant's enigmatic mother, Hannah. In the "Grant community" nowadays, doing these things seems to require some courage. Good for her. |
