The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant is an autobiography by Ulysses S. Grant the 18th President of the United States focused mainly on his military career during the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War and completed as he was dying of cancer in 1885. Facing his mortality Grant struck a publishing deal with his friend Mark Twain for his memoirs hoping that they would provide for his family after his death. In the early stages of his work he had the assistance of Adam Badeau an author who had served on his staff during the war. The two-volume set was published by Mark Twain shortly after Grant's death. Twain created a unique marketing system designed to reach millions of veterans with a patriotic appeal just as Grant's death was being mourned. Ten thousand agents canvassed the North following a script that Twain had devised; many were veterans who dressed in their old uniforms. They sold 350000 two-volume sets at prices from $3.50 to $12 depending on the binding. Each copy contained what looked like a handwritten note from Grant himself. The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant has been highly regarded by the general public military historians and literary critics. Positive attention is often directed toward Grant's prose which has been praised as shrewd intelligent and effective. He portrayed himself in the persona of the honorable Western hero whose strength lies in his honesty and straightforwardness. He candidly depicts his battles against both the external Confederates and his internal Army foes. The narrative ends shortly after the Army of the Potomac's final review in Washington in May 1865. Grant deliberately avoids comment on Reconstruction apart from saying that he favored black suffrage. The final chapter "Conclusion" is a reflection on the war and its effects the actions of foreign countries during it and the reconciliation of North and South. In the final paragraphs Grant makes note of his own condition and expresses optimism that "Federal and Confederate" can live together. The Memoirs quickly became a best seller. The Grant family who received 75% of the net royalties after expenses made approximately $450000 equivalent to $12000000 in 2016 from the book re-establishing their fortune. Charles L.
