Presenting an original, thought-provoking look at Ulysses S. Grant, Soldier of Destiny evokes the life of the general through his conflicted connection to slavery, allowing readers a clearer understanding of this great American. Captain Ulysses S. Grant, an obscure army officer who was expelled for alcohol abuse in 1854, rose to become general-in-chief of the United States Army in 1864. What accounts for this astonishing turn-around during this extraordinary decade? Was it destiny? Or was he just an ordinary man, opportunistically benefiting from the turmoil of the Civil War to advance to the highest military rank? Soldier of Destiny reveals that Grant always possessed the latent abilities o...
An excellent and diligently researched biography of Julia Boggs Dent Grant (1826-1902), the wife of the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and First Lady of the United States from 1869 to 1877. An active participant in presidential matters, The First Lady was widely regarded to possess tremendous strength of character, sharing in the mixed fortunes of her husband, promoting his welfare, loved and cared for her family, and fulfilled her patriotic duty as First Lady. She reveled in her role as hostess to the nation, and by all accounts brought warmth and a home-like atmosphere to the White House. Includes over 15 B&W illustrations.
Farmers, shopkeepers, businessmen, politicians--the fathers of the presidents of the United States have come from a wide variety of professions and all walks of life. In many cases, they provided their sons and future presidents with a political philosophy that they carried to the White House. In a few instances, the politics of the son differed significantly from that of his father. This unique reference work provides biographies of both the biological and adoptive fathers of the 41 men who have served as president of the United States. Were the personalities of the father and son similar? What role did the father play in the son's upbringing? How did the father's view influence the son's? These questions and others are covered in each entry, in addition to the biographical sketches of the fathers of the presidents.
Mr Moar has put immense amounts of research into the question of whether or not God exists and His relationship with the Bible itself. He provides a unique--and, apparently, undebatable--proof of the existence of the New Testament Trinity in the Old Testament itself. Using various Scriptures and known history, he provides excellent proofs of the fact that Christ's crucifixion had been prophesied literally centuries beforehand in several Scriptures. He also uses the ancient Jewish Talmud and the similarly-ancient Greek Magical Papyri to demonstrate a fact that is now well-established among Jesus researchers--that Christ was a "magician" so powerful that, according to the Talmud, He had been able to strongly influence the entire nation of Israel itself. In addition, Mr Moar provides a unique and very powerful proof of Christ's empty tomb at the time of His purported resurrection. Finally, Mr Moar uses his knowledge of psychology to show that you will probably be happier as a Christian than otherwise. Thus, reading Mr Moar's book can literally be a life-changing experience. (Be prepared--ha ha!)
