Description
Ulysses S. Grant wrote his memoirs during the last year of his life and completed them only just before his death in July 1885. Although he discusses his personal life, Grant’s memoirs focus on the main two wars of his lifetime: the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. Grant’s friend, the author Mark Twain is supposed to have helped him write this book. Twain presented this copy to his secretary Miss Fanny C. Hess.
