Summary "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 4" by Ulysses S. Grant is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume continues to chronicle Grant's experiences during the American Civil War, detailing critical battles and military strategies while he held command, particularly during pivotal moments in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas. The opening of this memoir describes Grant's first meeting with Secretary of War Stanton and his assumption of command of the Military Division of Mississippi. As Grant navigates the complex military landscape, he discusses the dire conditions of the Army of the Cumberland under General Rosecrans and the strategic failures that led to setbacks in the war. He highlights the urgency of reinforcing Chattanooga and the meticulous planning required to ensure the troops' supply lines and combat readiness, leading up to several significant battles, including the Battle of Chattanooga. In this section, Grant emphasizes the importance of quick decision-making and clear communication within the command structures as he prepares his forces for the critical challenges ahead.
