Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains the two volumes of autobiography by Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. The work focuses on his military career during the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. The chapters were written during the last year of Grant's life. The final work was initially published by Mark Twain shortly after Grant's death in July 1885.
Ulysses S. Grant sought to present his moral, political, economic, and social argument for waging the war against the South in his Personal Memoirs. He was the commander of the Union army and also a two-term president, giving him a unique perspective on the war that interested both the public and historical scholars, who were eager to hear his side of the story. Includes a free downloadable PDF with the Inaugural Address and all the Proclamations related to Thanksgiving Day, from 1869 to 1876.
