Description

Harry J. Maihafer (au). The true story of soldier/president Ulysses S. Grant & editorial giants Horace Greeley & Charles Dana. Vividly depicts these three remarkable lives, emphasizing how they became interwoven, influenced each other, & affected the course of American history. The book follows the three powerful men as their paths cross during the Civil War & Reconstruction. Vividly portraying the 19th century era of “personal journalism,” when Greeley & Dana became major players on the national stage, Maihafer shows how the media greatly affected the conduct of the Civil War &, to this day, has shaped the public’s perception of Lincoln’s, Johnson’s, & Grant’s presidencies.
