| Summary |
"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 6" by Ulysses S. Grant is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This part of Grant's memoirs focuses on the final stages of the American Civil War, particularly detailing military strategies, notable events, and his interactions with key figures during this tumultuous period. At the start of this portion, Grant recounts the movements of Union General William T. Sherman as he prepares for a march through the Carolinas, following his successful campaign in Georgia. Grant discusses the challenges Sherman faced, including supply issues and the need to overcome a significantly larger Confederate force, emphasizing the importance of strategic decisions and logistical planning. As Grant narrates the events, he also reflects on his correspondence with other generals and the broader implications of their military operations, which ultimately culminate in the final surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox.
