Ron Chernow’s award-winning biography, Grant, focused renewed literary attention on the man most responsible for leading Union forces to victory during the American Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant rose from obscurity in 1861 to become a national hero by 1865 and three years later, president of the United States. America’s History, LLC is proud to announce the second of a projected four-year study of this pivotal figure, the armies he commanded, and the brave men he opposed: Grant Takes Command, Cairo to Corinth.
As our tour historian, Will Greene has said, “I am very excited to be working with Bruce and Lynne Venter and America’s History, LLC on this program. This year’s tour will follow Vicksburg and Chattanooga Campaigns, all with an eye on Grant’s role in these critical engagements as well as an analysis of the Southern generals who opposed him. I hope you will join me on this year’s trip and look forward to sharing five days of fellowship, good food, and fascinating history with you.” The twelve months between November 1862 and November 1863 marked a critical period in the military history of Ulysses S. Grant. That year witnessed his rise from army commander first to department commander and then overall commander in the Civil War’s western theater. During that time, Grant conducted two of his most famous operations: The Vicksburg Campaign and the Battles for Chattanooga. The second of our four-part series exploring Grant’s Civil War career will examine these two complex campaigns that laid the groundwork for Grant’s eventual promotion to general-in-chief of all United States armies.
