The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family
from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $11.78

Customer Review:

Although the author belabors some points, as though she is facing a jury, I have found this book to give me a much clearer understanding of what life in slavery was like. It has also helped me better grasp why it was not abolished earlier.
It is also fascinating as a history of the Hemmingses,... more info

U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth (Civil War America)
from The University of North Carolina Press
Price: $18.50

Customer Review:

While this book covers how such a popular general and President lost his popularity through the years of time I fear that many people know neither that he was a General nor even the President of the United States. This book is not so much a study of his life, his military career or his presidency,... more info

Personal Memoirs (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $3.14

Customer Review:

Ulysses S. Grant was a humble man, and his book is extremely honest. Readers will be hard-pressed to find one word of embellishment or bragging. While there are many fascinating sections to this book, Grant's explanation of the Fugitive Slave act as the trigger of the war (they made the Northerners... more info

Abraham Lincoln
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $7.62

Customer Review:

More a long essay than a book, "Abraham Lincoln" surveys the life of the 16th president from birth to his fateful night when he was shot. In straightforward English, McPherson lays out Lincoln's life in easy prose and emulates the style of Lincoln himself: concise, eloquent, and profound.
The... more info

from Regnery Press
Price: $12.62

Customer Review:

I thought it was excellent. It gave concise explanations of what led to succession and of the war and from a refreshing Confederate viewpoint. At the end of the book, it had biographies of both Confederate and union generals. The union biographies made them sound like kind, loving, wonderful people.... more info

Up From Slavery: An Autobiography I remember listening to "Your Story Hour" tapes about Booker T. Washington as a child.

Customer Review:

U. S. Grant has provided us with a very clear understanding of what brings a man of character to a life of consequence, unlike the individuals who become president and think they are the important influence of our lives. God forbid that we think Obama or any other individual is more important than... more info
