Description

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.

"Behind every successful man there stands a woman." 
This maxim was never truer than with Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia. 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.

"Ulysses and Julia Grant were a profoundly united couple, and so it is not easy to make a clear distinction between his life and hers. The two loved and needed each other. ... It is very pleasant to get to know Julia Grant, who, in her devotion, was one of the more potent women in American history." 
The Saturday Review.
