Description: Bringing to life the American West during a crucial time in our nation's history, this original, thought-provoking look at the general-in-chief of the U.S. Army in 1864, Ulysses S. Grant, documents his gradual realization that Emancipation was the only possible outcome of the war that would be consistent with America's founding values and future prosperity.
