Summary: Exceptional!
Comment: This is another masterful book in the series of the Papers of Ulysses S. Grant. Covering a privotal period of his Presidency, the book reprints all of Grant's letters of the time, as well as responses and memoranda directed to him.

"The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant" is a project begun in 1962 for the purpose of publishing all the known letters written by Ulysses S. Grant. Volume one was published in 1967 and there are now twenty-six volumes in the series. People who follow Grant's career are aware of the inestimable value of this project. The Papers contain all known correspondence written by Grant and letters received by him. The editing of the series (by John Y. Simon), is unparalleled and the volumes represent primary source material at its apex.

Those who believe Grant was a "drunkard" or a "butcher" should read his own words, which show Grant's humor, pathos and unique personality. Masterfully edited by John Y. Simon, these volumes are a "must have" for anyone with an interest in U.S. Grant as a general, a politician and as a man. My highest recommendation goes to these volumes.
