Not bad!

Though this book is part of a larger series of biographies on American First Ladies, the author has done a creditible job in portraying the wife of General Grant. The text contains few errors, the evaluation of Julia and her famous husband is generally on the mark and the photos are a welcome surprise. Of particular note is an oustanding, rare photo of the Grant's daughter, Nellie, taken when she was only three years old. This photo alone makes this a "must buy" for Grantophiles. This book is not intended to be a definitive biography of Julia Dent Grant and it is necessarily brief, but for its genre, it's a welcome addition to libraries of U.S. Grant or First Lady collectors.
