About the author
Born in Ohio in 1822, Ulysses S. Grant graduated from West Point, served in the Mexican-American War, and later returned to military life after struggling in business and civilian jobs. During the Civil War, his success at places such as Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, and eventually in overall command of Union armies made him one of the central military figures of the conflict.
Grant served as the 18th president of the United States from 1869 to 1877. His presidency is often remembered for Reconstruction, efforts to protect the rights of formerly enslaved people, and the serious scandals that touched parts of his administration even though his personal honesty was widely noted.
In the last year of his life, while suffering from throat cancer and facing financial hardship, he wrote his Personal Memoirs. The book was praised for its clear, direct style and has remained one of the most enduring firsthand accounts by an American president and general.
