RARE FIRST EDITION IN A VERY PLEASING STATE OF PRESERVATION. VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT CONDITION AND DELUXE BINDING STATE. ‘THE FINEST MEMOIRS OF WAR EVER PENNED’. An important historical memoir of the Civil War arguably the most important and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. Collectible copies of these books are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Copies in this binding especially so.<br> The earliest days of the Civil War were a hard lesson in hubris for the Union Army. After the appointment of Grant to overall command of the Union forces the war would quickly turn to their favor. <br> Probably the most important book on the American Civil War and in many respects a masterpiece of American literature. David Eicher"s useful summary includes this fine judgment: "Grant’s MEMOIRS comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history . . . The work is genuinely that of the commander. As such it is valuable in its scope its plain and clear analysis and language and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war.<br> "In the years following the war Grant would move into the political arena even against his best judgment and would with great public acclaim be elected President of United States for two full terms.

147824Rare Persian kard a straight single-edged dagger that is worn on the left side of the belt from the collection of General William T. Sherman preserved in his military trunk. The kard has a bone handle no guard and repoussé sheath with a floral arabesque design. A major characteristic of a kard is that the sheath partially covers the hilt. Ulysses S. Grant a close friend of Sherman's went on a "World Tour" after his second presidential term had ended.

When the Grant family returned from their trip Sherman greeted Grant at a reunion held by the veterans of the Army of the Tennessee.

General William Tecumseh Sherman and General Ulysses S. Grant were key figures in the Union Army during the American Civil War forming a close personal and professional relationship that significantly influenced the war’s outcome. Grant known for his strategic leadership recognized Sherman’s military talents early in the war and the two collaborated on major campaigns including the Vicksburg Campaign 1863 and Sherman’s March to the Sea 1864–1865. Their coordinated efforts exemplified the Union’s strategy of total war aimed at crippling the Confederacy’s resources and morale. After the war their partnership continued with Sherman succeeding Grant as Commanding General of the U.S. Army in 1869 when Grant became President. Their mutual trust and shared military philosophy played a crucial role in shaping U.S. military strategy and post-war reconstruction efforts. unknown
1089086 1 p. 8vo 225 x 155 mm. orig. printed red semi-stiff wrappers title on spine. Cullompton Devon: Beau Geste Press 1973.<br /> <br> <br> First edition the deluxe version on vibrant multi-colored Strathmore Grandee paper of this scarce and early Carrión 1941-89 bookwork. Arguments was printed in a total edition of 400 copies 200 on Huntsman white cartridge and unsigned and 200 deluxe copies and signed on the verso of the title-page.<br /> <br> <br> Formed in 1970 by Felipe Ehrenberg Martha Hellion David Mayor Chris Welch and Madeleine Gallard the Beau Geste Press was instrumental in Carrión’s growing engagement with artists’ books. The scholar Zanna Gilbert recalls in the Beau Geste Press catalogue p. 405 that in 2017 Ehrenberg “commented that Carrión had never gotten his hands dirty with ink before visiting the Beau Geste Press.†In 1973 the Press published two of his books Arguments Autumn and Looking for Poetry/Tras la PoesÃa Winter.<br /> <br> <br> In the Getty Research Institute exhibition catalogue Artists and Their Books Books and Their Artists 2018 Gilbert describes the present bookwork: “Carrión humorously interrogates the structure and content of books and the literary devices used by authors and playwrights. The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements. The distinctly Anglophone names are arranged in various configurations on each page of the book leaving the reader to wonder about the substance of the disputes. Indeed as the ‘arguments’ play out across the gridded field of the typeset page the book increasingly becomes about the materiality of the text itself with Carrión adding symbols such as the ampersand or violating the names themselves—as when for example ‘Marion’ becomes ‘Mar ion’—resulting in ever more complex exchanges†p. 72.<br /> <br> <br> The book was beautifully typeset by Terry Wright a skilled printer who joined the Press in 1972; laid out by Mayor; and offset-printed by Ehrenberg. Each “Argument†is numbered by hand there are 25 in total with several misnumbered and corrected in this copy nos. 5 22 23 24. Carrión’s book concludes with an unnumbered page on translucent paper with the entreaty: “My name is Ulises / What’s yours â€<br /> <br> <br> A fine copy; spine a trifle sunned.<br /> <br> <br> ⧠Alice Motard ed.

Since last June the roar of shells and the whistle of bullets have disturbed the silence of the woods in the vicinity and today the old flag waves from the Court House. The United States armies and U.S. Grant have foreclosed and entered in possession and Petersburg is ours. And throughout the length and breadth of the land the joyful tidings will spread that another deadly blow has been struck at the fast dying Southern Confederacy. Slowly and miserably it yet drags on a lingering existence but its days are numbered and the end is at hand. The bright rays of the sun and the pleasant fresh breeze of this fair spring morning kiss the folds of the stars and stripes as it waves from the tower and hill the streets wear a lovely and animated appearance thronged with soldiers and citizens the cause of Liberty and truth is triumphant."<br /> <br /> Under the heading "LATEST NEWS":<br /> <br /> "RICHMOND TAKEN. -Just as we are about going to press we are reliably informed that the city of Richmond came into the possession of the Union forces at a quarter past eight o'clock this morning."<br /> <br /> Under "WE US AND CO":<br /> <br /> "We believe in the UNITED STATES one and indivisible; in Abraham Lincoln our adopted Father; in U.S. GRANT Captain of the Host; and ourselves as the principle sojourners in the Army of the Potomac and the Freedom of the Contraband the speedy extinction of the Rebellion and the perdition of Jeff.

The president and Civil War general's remarkable memoir written in the final years of his life as he was suffering from terminal throat cancer. Suffering both physically and financially as the result of financial misfortune Grant began writing his autobiography in the fall of 1884 and finished in July of 1885 five days before his death. Samuel Clemens Mark Twain encouraged Grant and shepherded the book to publication through the Webster connection.<br /> <br /> Eagerly anticipated by a public that had been following Grant's illness in the press the book was an immediate success upon its release and has long been considered one of if not the best memoirs written by an American president.

Greggs: "You are hereby notified that the President of the United States has appointed you for gallant and meritorious services during the war a Captain by Brevet. Should the Senate at their next session advise and consent thereto you will be commissioned accordingly." Beautifully framed to 15.5 x 17.5 inches with a 4.5 x 3.75-inch copperplate portrait along with a tan matte and black-and-gold frame. The letter has horizontal folds and a small smudge in the left margin; overall a magnificent item in near fine condition.<br/><br/> At the time that this document was signed President Andrew Johnson was undergoing Impeachment proceedings. A week earlier he compounded his problems by firing Secretary of War Stanton and convincing Grant to fill the Cabinet position. Two months later both houses of Congress determined that it was illegal to fire Stanton and that he should be reinstated immediately. Grant rather than to get caught up with the political controversy walked away from President Johnson - both men refusing to speak to one another for the rest of their lives.<br/><br/> unknown books
