My Life Here and There – Autobiographies PDF Download

Cantacuzène, Julia Dent Grant
Scribner 1922 Dewey Dec. Biography

“These reminiscences begin with the author’s childhood recollections of her grandfather, U. S. Grant, cover an interesting career among American and European celebrities, especially the latter, and end just before the beginning of the Great war. Her life in Russia, at the court of the Czar and among high officials, is minutely described with many allusions to court gossip and intrigue.”
“Probably no more entertaining reminiscences have been written in recent years by a native American woman than these. The charm of the narrative is great; and this is probably due to the fact that in all the subjects the author treats, from the last days of General Grant to the last court function at St Petersburg she is so thoroughly and simply American.”

The Life of George Rogers Clark – Books To Read Biography

James, James A.
Chicago: University of Chicago 1929

George Rogers Clark was an American surveyor, soldier, and militia officer from Virginia who became the highest ranking American military officer on the northwestern frontier during the American Revolutionary War. He served as leader of the militia in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) throughout much of the war. He is best known for his celebrated captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779) during the Illinois Campaign, which greatly weakened British influence in the Northwest Territory. The British ceded the entire Northwest Territory to the United States in the 1783 Treaty of Paris, and Clark has often been hailed as the “Conqueror of the Old Northwest”. His younger brother was William Clark who, with Meriwether Lewis, explored the Louisiana Territory for President Jefferson. -Wikipedia. Biography of George Rogers Clark, read biography books.

The author was a professor of American history at Northwestern University. This book was the result of many years of research by Dr. James on General Clark’s papers, as well as on the history of the Revolutionary War in the west. Dr. James also drew upon the notes of Lyman Draper at the Wisconsin Historical Society, who spent 15 years researching Clark for a biography that he never completed.
