Summary "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Part 3" by Ulysses S. Grant is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book recounts Grant's experiences and observations as a military leader during the American Civil War, detailing significant movements and battles, as well as his thoughts on leadership, strategy, and the social dynamics of the time. The opening portion of the memoir begins with Grant detailing his feelings of frustration and requests for a transfer from his position at Corinth as he prepares to move his headquarters to Memphis. He describes various interactions with local Southern gentlemen, journeys with his staff, and his continuous assessment of military strategies concerning enemy movements, particularly those of General Van Dorn and General Bragg. As Grant reflects on his command, he presents a nuanced portrayal of the political tensions, military challenges, and personal encounters that shaped his view of the war, highlighting the complexities of leading forces in a divided nation.
