"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 2." 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 explicitly for money to save his family from destitution, Grant's honest prose and candid battle accounts captured a nation. Mark Twain's brilliant marketing transformed these dying words into a bestselling phenomenon,
with Union veterans selling 350,000 copies and securing Grant's widow nearly half a million dollars. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
