Gives a good view on his life in a very easy to read way. I think this would be useful in a middle school social studies classroom because it would help with learning about the civil war. I liked that they added illustrations to assist with comprehension. ( )

Very informative read. Great for research projects with kids. ( )

Covers his complete life in fairly simple language and sentence structure. Some more advanced vocabulary words included. Pencil line drawings. Timeline of Grant's life with simultaneous timeline of the world. No glossary, no bibliography.
