Description

How often in history do you see a presidential mea culpa for an event long past? In a remarkable exchange of letters, disgraced Union general, Fitz-John Porter, appeals to Ulysses S. Grant for assistance in clearing his name. The problem is, Grant believed in Porter's guilt and had said so in writing and conversation with others.

Twenty-five years after his arrest, conviction, and dismissal from the army, Fitz-John Porter is still at it, writing to Grant along with congressmen and anyone who might be able to help.

In 1879, a commission was convened to hear the facts. These letters tell the final outcome.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
