Completed just days before his death and hailed by Mark Twain as
"the most remarkable work of its kind since the Commentaries of
Julius Caesar," this is the now-legendary autobiography of ULYSSES
SIMPSON GRANT, 18th president of the United States and the Union
general who led the North to victory in the Civil War. Though Grant
opens with tales of his boyhood, his education at West Point, and
his early military career in the Mexican-American war of the 1840s,
it is Grant's intimate observations on the conduct of the Civil
War, which make up the bulk of the work, that have made this
required reading for history students, military strategists, and
Civil War buffs alike. Grant wrote his "Personal Memoirs" to secure
his family's future. In doing so, the Civil War's greatest general
won himself a unique place in American letters. His character,
sense of purpose, and simple compassion are evident throughout this
deeply moving account, as well as in the letters to his wife,
Julia, included here.
