Description
After nearly fifty years, the publication of Ulysses S. Grant⿿s correspondence concludes with the appearance of The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant, Volume 32: Supplementary Materials. Following in the footsteps of the project⿿s founding editor, John Y. Simon, and his numerous assistant editors, current managing editor John F. Marszalek and his team offer a volume of letters undiscovered during the publication of the earlier thirty-one volumes. These new letters shed light on Grant⿿s time at West Point, his Mexican War experience, his critical years leading the Union war effort, and his crisis-filled presidency. They also provide important insight into life during the nineteenth century. Whether dealing with family, fellow leaders, or job-seekers, Grant⿿s correspondence offers compelling information about questions concerning race, leadership, and everyday life. The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant is not complete without the addition of this important volume.
