Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Complete
"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Complete" by Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography written in 1884-1885. Racing against terminal throat cancer and financial ruin from a Ponzi scheme, the former president and Civil War general chronicled his military campaigns through the Mexican-American War and Civil War. Mark Twain intervened to publish the work, creating an innovative marketing campaign that transformed Grant's final act into one of the nineteenth century's bestselling books, saving his family from destitution while establishing an enduring literary legacy.
