U.S. History For Elementary and Middle School
Ulysses S. Grant | The Best of Presidents
​
The Book is an overview of an ordinary man who became an American hero and possibly the best President the United States has ever had. The book follows President Ulysses S. Grant's life, consisting of short stories from his childhood, military school, family life, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, and the Presidency until the end of his life. A brief overview of the Grant children as adults is the closing of the book. The book includes some of the African Americans and their contribution to the North winning the Civil War. The author intended the book to reach 6th-9th grade, but to the author's surprise, she has also found a more mature audience, young adults to seniors.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shirley Young is a mother of two sons, two daughters-in-law, and six grandchildren. She is also a preacher, a teacher of the gospel, and an entrepreneur. The author has always been passionate about increasing young people's knowledge of their history. Shirley Young has now embarked on the dream of telling the true stories of great people in American history and of those who have been left out of the story. The hope is that all young Americans will read the books and feel proud of their ancestors' role in the making of America.
