Publisher's Summary:
In Charles River Editors History for Kids series, your children can learn about historys most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kids attention all the way to the end.
In the 19th century, one of the surest ways to rise to prominence in American society was to be a war hero, like Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison. But few would have predicted such a destiny for Hiram Ulysses Grant, who had been a career soldier with little experience in combat and a failed businessman when the Civil War broke out in 1861. However, while all eyes were fixed on the Eastern Theater at places like Manassas, Richmond, the Shenandoah Valley, and Antietam, Grant went about a steady rise up the ranks through a series of successes in the West. His victory at Fort Donelson, in which his terms to the doomed Confederate garrison earned him the nickname Unconditional Surrender Grant, could be considered the first major Union victory of the war, and Grants fame and rank only grew after that at battlefields like Shiloh and Vicksburg.
Along the way, Grant nearly fell prey to military politics and the belief that he was at fault for the near defeat at Shiloh, but President Lincoln famously defended him, remarking, I cant spare this man. He fights. Lincolns steadfastness ensured that Grants victories out West continued to pile up, and after Vicksburg and Chattanooga, Grant had effectively ensured Union control of the states of Kentucky and Tennessee as well as the entire Mississippi River.

Informative, Enjoyable, Needs Thorough Editing!
History for Kids is a very useful series. It brings to kids history in a highly readable form with plenty of illustrations. In other words it is history made simple and alive.
The authors have succeeded in their aim and I enjoyed reading the book. At the same time, a thorough editing would make this good book a much better one.
I recommend the book with the above reservations!
Lots of great info!
This needs a good editing to correct the typos and some of the strange sentences but all in all a great biography for kids. Would like to see it edited and put out again in the corrected version.
