Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant — Volume 2 by Ulysses S. Grant
"Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant — Volume 2" by Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography written in 1884-1885. The work chronicles Grant's military career during the Mexican–American War and Civil War, written as the dying president battled terminal throat cancer and personal bankruptcy from a Ponzi scheme. Published by Mark Twain after Grant's death, the memoirs became a 19th-century bestseller through an unprecedented marketing campaign. Critics have praised Grant's lean, intelligent
prose and his candid depiction of battlefield struggles and internal Army conflicts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
