Publisher Description The Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant capture the essence of the 18th U.S. Presidents life, particularly his pivotal roles during the Mexican-American and Civil Wars. Crafted in the final days of Grants life amidst battles with terminal throat cancer and severe financial distress, these memoirs were published posthumously by Mark Twain in 1885. Twain, using his considerable promotional talents and his personal bond with Grant, devised a sales strategy that tapped into the nations mourning and patriotic spirit, employing Union veterans for door-to-door sales. The memoirs earned widespread praise for their honest and eloquent prose. Grants straightforward recounting of his military strategies and personal adversities provides a touching and reflective narrative, praised for its clarity and insight into the life of one of Americas most esteemed generals. The success of the memoirs not only secured a financial legacy for Grants widow but also affirmed the memoirs importance in both military and literary history. They are cherished for their candid portrayal of Grants character and leadership, standing as a testament to his enduring legacy.This case laminate collectors edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket. Author Biography Ulysses S. Grant, born Hiram Ulysses Grant on April 27, 1822, rose from humble beginnings in Ohio to become the 18th President of the United States, serving from 1869 to 1877. His leadership in the Union Army during the Civil War, highlighted by the decisive Vicksburg campaign and the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox, propelled him to national fame and ultimately the presidency. Despite political inexperience, Grants presidency was marked by efforts to stabilize the post-war economy, protect African Americans during Reconstruction, and prosecute the Ku Klux Klan, alongside challenges such as economic turmoil and administrative scandals.After leaving office, Grants popularity continued as he became the first president to circumnavigate the globe and later penned his critically acclaimed memoirs while battling throat cancer. Despite early historical criticism influenced by the Lost Cause narrative, recent scholarship has begun to acknowledge Grants contributions to civil service reform, his commitment to civil rights, and his pivotal role in securing the Union, offering a more balanced view of his legacy. Grants enduring impact on American history is reflected in the recovery of his reputation, as he is increasingly celebrated for his efforts to forge a more inclusive and united nation.
