Grant's youngest son accompanied his father in the field during the Civil War, lived in the White House, and was with his parents on their post-presidency round-the-world tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this intimate account, Jesse Root Grant II recalls the company of the famous and powerful, including Abraham Lincoln, William Tecumseh Sherman and other generals, politicians in Washington, and royalty in Europe and the Middle East. He tells gossipy tales like the time when he caused a fuss with Queen Victoria and his meals with Oscar Wilde in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA warm and close family, the Grants probably felt more at ease in each others' company than with anyone else. Jesse saw the great strains on his father during the war and even more so during the White House years. Few people realize that for sixteen unbroken years, Ulysses S. Grant shouldered tremendous responsibilities as general and president. Only during the round-the-world trip did Jesse finally see a marked change for the better in his father's mood and physical condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 21st century, historians are taking a new view of Grant as general and as president. Far from being just a scandal-ridden president, out of his depth, his accomplishments are seen more favorably than they have been for a hundred years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSit down with Jesse and see the days of his father through his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"There is not a page of the story that does not contain something of keen human interest.\"-\u003cem\u003eThe Morning News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Illuminating indeed is the author's word-picture of General Grant's world tour.\"-\u003cem\u003eThe Courier Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This biography is exceedingly interesting...and a true understanding of a man whose courage and ability was universally admired.\"-\u003cem\u003eThe St. Louis Star and Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52465745035571,"sku":"9798734736241","price":23.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/H7XdIEQY_89798734736241.webp?v=1759298056","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/in-the-days-of-my-father-general-grant-expanded-annotated-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
