"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 4." by Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography written in 1884-1885. This final volume captures Grant's military career during the Mexican-American War and the Civil War, written under extraordinary circumstances.

Mark Twain, his close friend, championed the work's publication, creating an innovative marketing campaign that made it a nineteenth-century bestseller and secured Grant's legacy.
