Unconditional Surrender: The Romance of Julia and Ulysses S. Grant
A fan of General Ulysses S. Grant from childhood, Patricia Cameron spent more than ten years studying the intense and often-overlooked relationship between Grant and his wife, Julia. Patricia's extensive research and in-depth examination of the Grants, through their memoirs, letters and first-hand accounts of them, makes her the expert on one of the most important marriages in our nation's history. What is mostly unknown about Grant is his passionate, romantic and undying love for Julia. He was, in fact, a tender, devoted and romantic husband, who sent his wife "a thousand kisses" and sent her flowers through the mail. It was being with Julia that brought Grant happiness and gave him the strength to be the general and president that his country needed him to be. The complete romance of Julia and Ulysses S. Grant and its impact on history could be lost, as well, if not for the passion and research of Patricia Cameron. In her book "Unconditional Surrender: The Romance of Julia and Ulysses S. Grant," Patricia offers a chronological collection of every letter young Lieutenant Grant wrote to Julia during their courtship, allowing his heart to pour out like never before. Patricia provides insightful comments and context about the letters, drawn from her decade of research, while letting the words of love and devotion speak for themselves.
