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.
