Ulysses S. Grant: Soldier & PresidentNot since Bruce Catton has there been such an absorbing and exciting biography of Ulysses S. Grant.

Not since Bruce Catton has there been such an absorbing and exciting biography of Ulysses S. Grant. "Grant is a mystery to me," said William Tecumseh Sherman, "and I believe he is a mystery to himself." Geoffrey Perret's account offers new insights into Grant the commander and Grant the president that would have astonished both his friends, such as Sherman, and his enemies. Based on extensive research, including material either not seen or not used by other writers, this biography explains for the first time how Ulysses S. Grant's military genius ultimately triumphed as he created a new approach to battle. He was, says Perret, "the man who taught the army how to fight." As president, Grant was widely misunderstood and underrated. That was mainly because he was, as Perret shows, the first modern president--the first man to preside over a rich, industrialized America that had put slavery behind it and was struggling to provide racial justice for all. Grant's story--from a frontier boyhood to West Point; from heroic feats in the Mexican War to grinding poverty in St. Louis; from his return to the army and eventual election to the presidency; from his two-year journey around the world to his final battle to finish his Personal Memoirs--is one of the most adventurous and moving in American history.Binding Type: Paperback

Edging made easy
Size: 9 inches
Surprised how well this works.
I was looking for no cord for long driveway. The battery takes a bit to fully charge, but lasts for the entire job. The levels for depth make edging around d flower beds or raised beds easy- not really a trench, but gives a good edge.
Lightweight and easy to manage. Definitely lighter than my corded edger.
The blade is sensitive and the guide to keep it steady along concrete is not great- just need to make sure you watch closely or it will spark when it hits the concrete.

Works well, a little under powered
Size: 9 inches
Works well, a little under powered when I used it for the first time. Once you get the groove established it works great to maintain it

It’s junk
Size: 9 inches
Deserves a zero. Like some others said on here, it runs for 3 seconds and just stops with battery fully charged. I got it for Christmas so too late to return. More China junk.

Great price, does a good job
Size: 9 inches
I’m mostly old. School when it comes to yard equipment. A gas engine has got to be better than a battery .
I have a weed eater that will take out a tree but makes a lousy edger.
Since I don’t have a large lawn, I gave this guy a try.
Turns out it does a pretty good job.
Can’t beat the price and it’s simple to use.
Be aware, this vendor sells the unit only.
They have no spare parts and you will need to source replacement blades. ( they supply 1 spare). Otherwise, worth a try.

Not too bad for the price
Size: 9 inches
I was skeptical if an edger as cheap as this one would do the job at all. I figured if it worked at all it might be worth the price. I was surprised be it is actually pretty good. I have a medium sized area. Just one driveway and about 30 feet of sidewalk. I will use it four or five times a summer and I expect it will last for a few years. It hold a charge enough for my needs. If you have a large driveway or plan on using it every day, you will probably be disappointed. But if you have a small area to do, its not bad.
