Thayer's biography traces the life of Ulysses S. Grant from birth, to failed businessman; to hero of the Union in the Civil War; to two terms of President of the United States. In the 19th century, one of the surest ways to rise to prominence in American society was to be a war hero, like Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison. But few would have predicted such a destiny for Hiram Ulysses Grant. Recently republished as From Tannery To White House.
