Additional proofing by David Widger "Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant — Volume 2" by Ulysses S. Grant is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book offers an in-depth narrative of Grant's experiences and insights as a military leader during key battles of the American Civil War, particularly focusing on significant moments such as the battle of Chattanooga and the interactions with high-ranking officials of the Union Army. The opening of this volume delves into the strategic and challenging military landscape following Grant's arrival at Chattanooga, where he took command to address the dire situation of the besieged Army of the Cumberland. Grant recounts his first meetings with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and other key figures, outlining the critical military movements that needed to take place to prevent a catastrophic retreat. The narrative describes the disarray faced by Union forces and the logistical hurdles in securing supplies, coupled with Grant’s reflections on the delayed responses from his subordinates. Overall, the initial chapters establish the urgency and precariousness of the Union's military position, setting the stage for subsequent actions that would define the battle and potentially change the course of the war.
