Book excerpt: Ulysses S. Grant is well-known as one of the pillars of our nation's history; however, few are familiar with John A. Rawlings, the man that kept that pillar from crumbling. This is the story of John Rawlins, the man who guarded Grant, reproached him, and idolized him. He was Grant's trusted confident, advisor and critic. Without him, many doubt that Grant could have fulfilled his destiny as a distinguished military commander. One slip brought to public attention might have ended Grant's career. This study follows John Rawlins from his birth in Galena, Illinois (February 13, 1831) to his death. A brief sketch of his industrious youth; his successful law practice, and, in 1861, his appointment to the position of assistant adjutant general to Grant, paint a vivid portrait of this exceptional man. As AAG, Rawlins' first order of business was to obtain a promise from Grant to abstain from alcohol. Anyone who offered a drink to Grant faced demotion and exile. Grant's alcohol consumption was a never-ending source of concern for Rawlins. From the field of battle to the political arena, Rawlins was Grant's right arm. Grant was inaugurated president in 1868; Rawlins was appointed secretary of war. Rawlins had a passion for justice, and espoused the cause of Cuban freedom. After a lengthy struggle with pulmonary consumption, Rawlins died on September 5, 1869. Brief outlines of battles in which Grant participated have been included. Maps and facsimile reprints of vintage photographs enliven this fascinating account of a forgotten patriot.

Download or read book General John A. Rawlins written by Allen J. Ottens and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one succeeds alone, and Ulysses S. Grant was no exception. From the earliest days of the Civil War to the heights of Grant's power in the White House, John A. Rawlins was ever at Grant's side. Yet Rawlins's role in Grant's career is often overlooked, and he barely received mention in Grant's own two-volume Memoirs. General John A. Rawlins: No Ordinary Man by Allen J. Ottens is the first major biography of Rawlins in over a century and traces his rise to assistant adjutant general and ultimately Grant's secretary of war. Ottens presents the portrait of a man who teamed with Grant, who submerged his needs and ambition in the service of Grant, and who at times served as the doubter who questioned whether Grant possessed the background to tackle the great responsibilities of the job. Rawlins played a pivotal role in Grant's relatively small staff, acting as administrator, counselor, and defender of Grant's burgeoning popularity. Rawlins qualifies as a true patriot, a man devoted to the Union and devoted to Grant. His is the story of a man who persevered in wartime and during the tumultuous years of Reconstruction and who, despite a ravaging disease that would cut short his blossoming career, grew to become a proponent of the personal and citizenship rights of those formerly enslaved. General John A. Rawlins will prove to be a fascinating and essential read for all who have an interest in leadership, the Civil War, or Ulysses S. Grant.
