The Civil War's greatest general as you've never seen him before—a revealing collection of letters written by Ulysses S. Grant to his wife Julia, introduced by Ron Chernow Ulysses S. Grant is justly celebrated as the author of one of the finest military autobiographies ever written, yet many readers of his Personal Memoirs are unaware that during his army years Grant wrote hundreds of intimate and revealing letters to his wife, Julia Dent Grant.   Presented with an introduction by acclaimed biographer Ron Chernow, My Dearest Julia collects more than eighty of these letters, beginning with their engagement in 1844 and ending with the Union victory in 1865. They record Grant's first experience under fire in Mexico (“There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in every direction but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation”), the aching homesickness that led him to resign from the peacetime army, and his rapid rise to high command during the Civil War.   Often written in haste, sometimes within the sound of gunfire, his wartime letters vividly capture the immediacy and uncertainty of the conflict. Grant initially hoped for an early conclusion to the fighting, but then came to accept that the war would have no easy end. “The world has never seen so bloody or so protracted a battle as the one being fought,” he wrote from Spotsylvania in 1864, “and I hope never will again.”

My Dearest Julia is my favorite of Grant’s personal writings.Julia Dent was a remarkably modern woman for the time and her husband’s respect for her is endearing. I initially read this book because I was more interested in learning about James Longstreet’s family dynamics, as Julia was his first cousin, but I came away with a deep respect for President Grant.I find it amazing how Southerners like me were brainwashed to believe that Grant was a drunken scoundrel, when he was in fact one of our finest presidents. The Daughters of the Confederacy are to blame for so much of the anti-Grant propaganda, they who would not even send flowers to James Longstreet’s funeral though he was arguably the most important of Lee’s generals. Their message was clear: work with those who aim to rebuild the Union (like Grant) and we will destroy you. But reading these letters to Julia, I have come to understand that everything I was taught about Grant was a lie.I spent hours reading Grant’s personal memoirs, both volumes, which bored me at many points, and I learned more about him in My Dearest Julia. Everyone who wants to understand Grant the man should read this book. Doesn’t take long to read and it’s one of those books you refer back to time and again.
