Review # 1 was written on 2010-06-28 00:00:00 Jim Curry While the book is not a great work or literature, one would be remiss to judge it on its literary merits. Julia Dent was not a writer but what she did produce is a worthy record of her perception of important events such as growing up in Antebellum Missouri and her view of the Civil War & life with Ulysses S. Grant. The book is written in her authentic voice which adds to its value as it is not a heavily polished and one gets a sense that they know Mrs. Grant, for the better or worse, after reading her memoirs. My only wish was that she didn't conclude her memoirs with the death of her husband and I wish she added a chapter about her years after his passing

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-13 00:00:00 Jason Eaby I read this as a companion piece to Gen Grant's me oirs. It fills in some of the smaller more personal items of the Grants relationship. Julia came from a relatively wealthy St. Louis family. She met Grant through her brother, also a West Point graduate. She describes her family life, courtship, and marriage to Grant. Her story is really interesting when she relates her Civil war experience. She, like Martha Washington, spent. Uh of her time with Grant in the field. She traveled to him sometimes with up to four children. This is quite interesting. Her closeness with her husband shows through as well as his personality and playfulness. In some ways she demonstrates her desire to be more than just his wife and to be part of the decision making. The last part of the book is about her world tour with Grant and while it is interesting and surprising all that they saw in some exotic places, it is much less interesting than the war experiences. A satisfying book because it fleshes out her relationship with Grant.
