Summary: "On the Trail of Grant and Lee" by Frederick Trevor Hill is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intertwined lives and careers of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, two prominent figures in the American Civil War. It aims to paint a balanced perspective on their contributions, emphasizing their human qualities, shared American heritage, and the complexities that defined their respective roles during a tumultuous period in American history. The opening of the book sets the stage for a nuanced examination of the Civil War and its key players. Hill begins by highlighting the historical context surrounding the war and critiques the distortions presented in American history regarding these figures, urging a fair representation of both Grant and Lee's lives and legacies. He discusses the early roots of their families, both of which were affected by civil strife dating back to the conflict in England, drawing parallels between their backgrounds. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for understanding how these two men, shaped by their experiences and environments, would come to face one another in one of the most significant wars in U.S. history.
