U.S. Grant
American hero, American myth
by Joan Waugh
- 1 Want to read
Ulysses S. Grant was the most famous person in America, considered by most citizens to be equal in stature to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Yet today his monuments are rarely visited, his military reputation is overshadowed by that of Robert E. Lee, and his presidency is permanently mired at the bottom of historical rankings. In an insightful blend of biography and cultural history, Joan Waugh traces Grant's shifting national and international reputation, illuminating the role of memory in our understanding of American history. Waugh reveals how Grant became the embodiment of the American nation in the decades after the Civil War. - Jacket flap.
