Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 1.
by Ulysses S. (Ulysses Simpson) Grant
"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 1." by Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography written in 1884-1885. Racing against terminal cancer and financial ruin, the former president and Civil War general chronicles his military career through the Mexican-American War and Civil War. Written in his final year while battling throat cancer and bankruptcy from a Ponzi scheme, Grant's memoirs became a 19th-century bestseller through Mark Twain's innovative marketing. The work is celebrated for its honest, lean prose and candid depiction of military and political battles.
