![]() Grant told Lincoln that all of the Union armies should advance at once in order to keep all of the Confederate armies occupied and unable to assist each other, using those famous interior lines. ![]() There is a conversation between Lincoln and Grant that appears in Grant's Memoirs. IMO he is an author who is definitely worth reading. That book is the first volume in this series and starts with the 1860 Democratic Party convention and goes through the First Battle of Bull Run.I have read some opinions that Bruce Catton is dated and reflects an outmoded viewpoint on the Civil War. He won the Pulitzer for history in 1954 for A Stillness at Appomattox. At the time this series was published Catton was the editor of the "American Heritage" and had already published a number of books on the Civil War. ![]() This is the third and final volume in the Centennial History of The Civil War by Bruce Catton. ![]()
