"Hold on with a Bulldog Grip: A Short Study of Ulysses S. Grant"

I purchased a nice, signed copy of "Hold on with a Bulldog Grip: A Short Study of Ulysses S. Grant" while visiting the Grant Presidential Library on the campus of Mississippi State University.  Several authors collaborated on this fun book.

This is a nice book to have to go along with my visit, and its a really pleasant, brief intro to the famous General/President.  If you have studied up on Grant, you will likely know most of the material, but there were some nuggets I wasn't familiar with myself (there is an interesting relationship between the Grant family and John Brown).

AND, the book ends with a wonderful story explaining how the Grant Library became established...  well, in the South (and in the state of General Grant's signature victory during the Civil War).  If you have studied Grant, you know that there were some tight friendships and bonds he had with members of the CSA before and after the war.  Well, Confederate Stephen D. Lee, the 1st president of Mississippi State University, will forever be linked to Grant.  The last few pages of the book explaining this sweet connection make the book a must.
