| Summary | "Our Standard-Bearer; Or, The Life of General Ulysses S. Grant" by Oliver Optic is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the life and career of General Ulysses S. Grant, detailing his youth, military campaigns, and contributions to the reconstruction of the nation after the Civil War. Through the lens of admiration, the narrative paints Grant as a paragon of military and presidential virtue, making it especially compelling for those interested in American history and the Civil War era. The opening of the book presents the enthusiastic voice of Captain Bernard Galligasken, who expresses his deep reverence for General Grant. It sets the stage for a detailed biography by asserting Grant's significance as a leader during the Civil War, lauding both his military genius and his character traits that endeared him to many. Galligasken shares personal reflections on Grant's early life, moral fortitude, and his enduring legacy, establishing a tone of admiration that continues throughout the narrative. This initial chapter serves not only as an introduction to Grant's life but also as an exploration of the values that guided him as a leader and as a man.
