Suffering both physically and financially as the result of financial misfortune Grant began writing his autobiography in the fall of 1884 and finished in July of 1885 five days before his death. Samuel Clemens Mark Twain encouraged Grant and shepherded the book to publication through the Webster connection. Eagerly anticipated by a public that had been following Grant's illness in the press the book was an immediate success upon its release and has long been considered one of if not the best memoirs written by an American president. Since its publication it has received acclaim from literary figures including Twain and Gertrude Stein and from numerous modern American historians and political commentators from Eric Foner to Ta-Nehisi Coates.

1885rif. 184123New York: Charles L. Webster & Company 1885-86. In the publisher's sheep First edition of the memoirs of the great Civil War general and 18th president of the United States "perhaps the most revelatory autobiography of high command to exist in any language" Keegan p. 202. The first edition was issued in five different bindings at varying costs. The sheepskin binding is especially attractive but is very prone to wear and generally found dilapidated. Written as Grant was dying of throat cancer and in dire financial straits the work serves as a deathbed justification for the war against the Confederacy and for Grant's own conduct as commanding general of the Union Army. It was published by Mark Twain Grant's close friend who marketed it by using military veterans in uniform to raise subscriptions. "To read Personal Memoirs today with knowledge of the circumstances in which Grant wrote them is to understand the indomitable will and moral courage that were keys to his military success" ANB. 2 vols octavo. Engraved portrait frontispieces etched plate and folding facsimile to each vol. on yellow paper in second vol. 47 integral full-page plans in all folding map at the rear of vol. II.
