Lincoln's Generals

Author: John Matern

Abraham Lincoln had an army. What he needed was a leader.

Lincoln looked long and hard for a general who could win the Civil War for the North. In this book, you’ll meet four of Lincoln’s generals:

George B. McClellan trained a fine army—but was he ready to use it?
Ambrose E. Burnside was eager to attack—but was he too eager?
Ulysses S. Grant seemed to be a failure before the war—but could he become a great leader?
William T. Sherman would do almost anything to win—but would he go too far?

Did Lincoln find the leader he was looking for? Find out in this book.
