an African-American regiment from the Midwest during the Civil War.
"Ulysses S. Grant is one of my Civil War favorites. I sat down on a
weekend morning to read this book and, by night, I was still at it
to the last page. Couldn't put it down. This is a very readable
story of how President Abraham Lincoln finally put Grant in charge
and changed the course of history."
