Virulently anti-Grant. From the Preface: "The language employed in tracing Gen. Grant's career may seem occasionally to have the warmth of partisanship. This appearance is due largely to the fact that, according to my conceptions of truth, I have to employ the language of condemnation. Condemnation must sometimes have a look of partisan harshness".
