Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 3. by Ulysses S. Grant

"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 3." by Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography written in 1884-1885. Racing against terminal throat cancer and personal bankruptcy, the 18th President chronicles his military career through the Mexican-American War and Civil War. Written in his final year, these memoirs became a desperate bid to secure his family's future after financial ruin. Mark Twain intervened to publish the work, creating an unprecedented marketing campaign that transformed Grant's dying effort into one of the 19th century's bestselling books.
