I agree with you completely

I agree with you completely about Grant, Rocket Man. Another book that shows the admirable qualities of Grant’s presidency is The Reconstruction Presidents by Brooks Simpson. Simpson is also working on a several volume biography of Grant. I don’t think he’s reached Grant’s presidency yet, and I have not read what he’s come out with so far. But his book about how Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, and Hayes dealt with reconstruction is quite worthwhile.
