The attraction of this couple may appear to the casual observer as the most unlikely of relationships. They experienced quite different circumstances, which included wildly diverse economic and social conditions as well as polar opposite polital views during their childhood and developmental years. The prospect of theirs ever being one of the most deep and devoted love stories of the time would have seemed to most observers as highly unlikely, if not impossible. Through all their challanges--financial reverslas, the Civil War, and the great responsibilities Grant faced on the field of battle, their unwavering love for and devotion to each other held firm.
This is Lois Lambert's first in the series called The Generals' Ladies as she explores the ladies behind the Civil War generals.

Finding information about women during this time period is difficult, if not impossible, for many researchers. The authors found much-overlooked records that had been stored in various locations and present them in this publication as originally written and in chronological order. It is possible to learn from these records the specific location of the family’s residence, the standard of living for the family, information about other family members, and, in the event of a remarriage, the name of a woman’s new husband. The Commentary and Explanatory Notes found at the end of each chapter, using the previous pages’s extracts for examples, allow the reader to more readily understand the terms, legalities, and customs of the time.
