Summary: "With Grant at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Vicksburg" by Wilbur F. Crummer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book captures the personal experiences of the author, a soldier in the 45th Illinois Volunteers, during crucial battles of the American Civil War. It provides vivid depictions of the military campaigns led by General U.S. Grant and offers insights into the daily lives, struggles, and thoughts of young soldiers during this tumultuous period.
