Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant Part Two
Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant Part Two | Ulysses S. Grant
There were no possible means of obtaining news from the garrison, and information from outside could not be otherwise than unfavorable. What General Taylor's feelings were during this suspense I do not know; but for myself, a young second-lieutenant who had never heard a hostile gun before, I felt sorry that I had enlisted. A great many men, when they smell battle afar off, chafe to get into the fray.

Ulysses S Grant wrote his memoirs during his #GoldenYears. Tragically, it was a race against the clock - he quickly wrote, knowing he was dying from cancer. He finished very shortly before he passed away. Sorry, #historynerdmoment! #JuneTunz
