I liked Chernow's US Grant bio even more than AHamilton's.

But, no soundtrack on the other bios yet.

Yep, Civil War perspective from the western areas, which was less familiar to me

The HBO Series is based on McCullough's Biography (which is very good).

Score is very good as well.

It is not romanticized that much. He is seen as unliked by his peers

The interaction between his wife and children and letters as well

That’s what his political foes thought of him. You should read the McCullough biography “John Adams”
