A
Complete Life of General George A. Custer: From Appomattox to the Little
Big Horn by Frederick WhittakerThis is a detailed biography of George Armstrong Custer from his growing-up years in Ohio to his years at West Point, the Civil War and his transition to a post-war politic. Perhaps of particular note is the absence of 20th century bias in this work that was first published only 6 months after Custer's death. A certain reality is brought to bear by Frederick Whittaker who had access to Custer's personal papers through a collaboration with Custer's widow. |

Edison:
A Life of Invention by Paul IsraelWorking against a common perception of Edison as a symbol of an American past where persistence and individuality resulted in "hard-earned" success, Israel demonstrates how Edison's career was very much a product of the fast-changing era. Informed by more than five million pages of archival documents, Edison is the only biography to cover Edison's whole career in invention, including his early, work in telegraphy. The Thomas Alva Edison that emerges from this peerless biography is of a man of genius and astounding foresight. |

Personal
Memoirs of U.S. Grant by Ulysses S. GrantMark Twain called Grant's memoirs "the best of any general's since Caesar". Completed just before his death in 1885, Grant's autobiography is a powerful account of his failings and triumphs. Devoted almost entirely to his life as a soldier, Grant's memoirs trace his extraordinary career from West Point cadet to general-in-chief of all Union armies. For their directness and clarity, his writings on war are without rival in American literature. |
