Preface
The introduction that follows from General Frederick Dent Grant is a simple statement of the large movements during the last year of the war in mass.
In it the reader will find a concise summation of what follows in detail throughout the chapters of Volume III.
It is amazing to the non-military reader to find how simple was the direct cause for the tremendous results in the last year of the Civil War. It was the unification of the Federal army under Ulysses S. Grant.
His son, in the pages that follow, repeats the businesslike agreement with President Lincoln which made possible the wielding of all the Union armies as one mighty weapon.
The structure of Volume II reflects the Civil War situation thus changed in May, 1864.
No longer were battles to be fought here and there unrelated; but a definite movement was made by Grant Versus Lee on the 4th of May, accompanied by the simultaneous movements of Butler, Sherman, and Sigel — all under the absolute control of the

Introduction Frederick Dent Grant, Major-General, United States Army
General Ulysses S. Grant at city Point in 1864, with his wife and son Jesse
Upon being appointed lieutenant-general, and having assumed command of all the armies in the field, in March, 1864, General Grant had an interview with President Lincoln, during which interview Mr. Lincoln stated that procrastination on the part of commanders, and the pressure from the people of the North and from Congress, had forced him into issuing his series of military orders, some of which he knew were wrong, and all of which may have been wrong; that all he, the President, wanted, or had ever wanted, was some one who would take the responsibility of action, and would call upon him, as the Executive of the Government, for such supplies as were needed; the President pledging himself to use the full powers of the Government in rendering all assistance possible.
General Grant assured the President that he would do the bes
