The first book to use this approach with Grant, it reveals that Grant was able to work with a man if he was loyal, unselfish, apolitical, ready to fight, dedicated, and completely trustworthy. John F. Marszalek's essay on William T. Sherman emphasizes that Grant and Sherman trusted each other and strengthened each other's self-esteem at crucial times; in June 1862, Sherman convinced Grant not to resign. Woodworth's essay on William H. L. Wallace demonstrates that Grant could work with a citizen-general who fought hard. Benjamin Franklin Cooling gives Charles F. Smith credit for providing vital reconnaissance in the Fort Henry campaign and for leading a brilliant charge in the battle of Fort Donelson. Cooling concludes that Andrew Hull Foote provided decisive intelligence on Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, influence with Henry Halleck for approval of the advance, and a bloodless navy victory at Fort Henry. . . .
