Grant, Ulysses S.; Long, E. B. (Edited by), and McFeely, William S. (Introduction by)
Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant
New York Da Capo Press 1982 0306801728 / 9780306801723 Trade Paperback Very Good
xxv, 608 pp., [11] leaves of plates, illus., index; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Moderate edgewear to wraps. "Among the autobiographies of generals and statesmen, the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant ranks with the greatest. Mark Twain called it 'the best of any general's since Caesar.' And few historians would disagree. Unquestionably, it is the finest literary achievement by any American president, the frankest, least pretentious, most nearly tragic account we have of the failings and triumphs of leadership. Written as Grant was dying of cancer, it tells the straightforward story of his boyhood in Ohio, graduation from West Point, and the grimy military campaigns in the West and Mexico that ended with his resignation in disgrace and a return to Galena where he ran the family store. Then began the rebellion that broke the Union and recast Grant's fortune: the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Appomattox, Five Forks, Sailor's Creek, Vicksburg and Lookout Mountain, the bloody Wilderness campaign, Sherman's 'March to the Sea.' Grant the tactician, the victim of his friends, the alcoholic, the plain and tough professional soldier, the ideal commander--all of these images are brightened in the work of Grant the writer as he assesses himself and the events that forged his character." - Publisher.

McFeely, William S.
Portrait: A Life of Thomas Eakins
New York and London W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. 2006 0393050653 / 9780393050653 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover NEW NEW Collectible
x, 237 pp., [16] pp. of plates, illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 25 cm. BRAND NEW. Stated "First Edition." "A brilliant historian's reconstruction of the life of an American painter. Thomas Eakins, a native of Philadelphia, painted two worlds: one sure of its values--the surgeons, inventors, musicians, and athletes of his time--and another that reflected his own struggles with depression and sexual identity. In this evenhanded account of those struggles, William S. McFeely sheds new light on Eakins's genius and on the evocative melancholy of his portraits, particularly of women, which include many of his remarkable wife, Susan McDowell Eakins. Those deeply perceptive paintings may be the greatest expressions of his art. One of America's leading historians, McFeely has long been an interpreter of nineteenth-century American writing. A fascinating aspect of this narrative is how he brings the painter into the company of Thoreau, Melville, and Whitman, with whom Eakins formed a deep friendship. The famous painting Swimming, for example, is likened to Walden, Typee, and to passages in Leaves of Grass. / William S. McFeely, whose Grant: A Biography won the Pulitzer Prize, lives in Wellfleet and Cambridge, Massachusetts." - Publisher.
