No dust jacket. See photos. Grant Takes Command is Bruce Catton’s authoritative study of Ulysses S. Grant’s assumption of overall command of Union forces during the final phase of the American Civil War.

Store description

My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
