Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, completed shortly before his death in 1885, is one of the most celebrated military autobiographies in American history. Written with clarity and humility, Grant recounts his early life, Civil War leadership, and reflections on military strategy and national unity. Mark Twain encouraged its publication and praised its literary merit. Grant’s honest, unsentimental style offers a compelling portrait of duty, character, and resilience. It remains a definitive firsthand account of the Civil War era.
