Medal of Honor Recipient and Member of General Grant’s Staff FINE CONDITION FINE CONDITION DUST JACKET PROTECTED IN A CLEAR, BRODART COVER Sharp, Bright, Clean, Solidly Bound, New Book Rich with Illustrations, Photographs, and Maps Fully Indexed PUBLISHED BY THE BLUE AND GRAY PRESS IN 1987 General Porter received the Medal of Honor at the Battle of Chickamauga. In the last year of the war, he served on the staff of General Ulysses S. Grant. Having daily contact with Grant, Porter wrote this excellent memoir of the experience. In 1863 Horace Porter, then a captain, met Ulysses S. Grant as Grant commenced the campaign that would break the Confederate siege at Chattanooga. After a brief stint in Washington, Porter rejoined Grant, who was now in command of all Union forces, and served with him as a staff aide until the end of the war. Porter was at Appomattox as a brevet brigadier general, and this work, written from notes taken in the field, is his eyewitness account of the great struggle between Lee and Grant that led to the defeat of the Confederacy. As a close-up observer of Grant in the field, Porter was also able to draw a finely detailed, fully realized portrait of this American military hero – his daily acts, his personal traits and habits, and the motives that inspired him in important crises – rendered in the language that Grant used at the time. Porter intended to bring readers into such intimate contact with the Union commander that they could know him as well as those who served by his side. He acquits himself admirable in this undertaking, giving us a moving human document and a remarkable perspective of a crucial chapter on American history.
