About the book
"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.
