"The marginal annotation of this edition has been undertaken with a view to supplementing the personal narrative by references not only to some of the books with which the author refreshed his memory before entering upon and during his autobiographical labors but also to a limited extent to works in which fuller details may be found concerning incidents which were necessarily briefly treated by General Grant either by reason of his own connections with the action being limited to a small details as in some of the Mexican War scenes or on account of the haste with which the first edition of the book was perforce completed." --Frederick D. Grant Preface to the Second Edition.Frederick Dent Grant 1850-1912 was the eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant. / "Books reviews pamphlets etc. cited in the marginal annotation to this edition": v. 1 p. xviii-xix. ¶ Ulysses S. Grant 1822-1885 stands as a pivotal figure in American history known for his roles as a Union general during the Civil War and the 18th President of the United States. Born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Ohio he entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served with distinction in the Mexican-American War. During the Civil War Grant's strategic acumen and tenacity led to key victories including the capture of Vicksburg a turning point in the war. His success on the battlefield led to his appointment as Commanding General in 1864 and he accepted the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox in 1865 effectively ending the Civil War. Grant's presidency 1869-1877 was marked by efforts to ensure civil rights for newly freed African Americans including the enforcement of Radical Reconstruction in the South and the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment granting African American men the right to vote. His administration faced challenges including an economic depression and accusations of corruption. In his later years Grant penned his memoirs which have been praised for their insight and literary style. Despite the controversies of his presidency Grant is often celebrated for his unwavering commitment to equality and his military leadership during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history." --Bing. ¶ Guerre du Mexique 1846-1848 -- Récits personnels.

186832549Missouri: The Radical State Committee 1868. Very Good. Missouri: The Radical State Committee 1868. Printed broadside 30.5x10cm with illustrated eagle vignette to top; blue backing. Grant's campaign slogan "Let Us Have Peace" to top followed by the Radical Republicans ballot choices from President on down to the County Officers. Creasing and smudging; nicks and short tears to edges; overall Very Good and sound. <br /> <br /> The Radical Republicans pushed for the complete and permanent eradication of slavery and supported Grant in '68 and here are supporting Missouri Congressional Candidate G.A. Finkelnburg as well. Noteworthy is also the push "For Constitutional Amendment - Yes" presumably referring to the 15th Amendment the 14th was already ratified and adopted that July prohibiting states and the federal government from denying a citizen's right to vote based on race color or previous condition of servitude. A rare survival of Grant campaign ephemera and an illuminating record of the Reconstruction era's battling factions and ideals. More broadly the piece has a certain congruity given the import of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 of which Thomas Jefferson said "I considered it at once as the knell of the Union. It is hushed indeed for the moment. But this is a reprieve only not a final sentence." Not separately cataloged in OCLC. The Radical State Committee unknown

188528594New York:: Charles L. Webster & Company 1885 1886. First Printing of the First US Edition. Two Volumes Complete. A Very Good plus tight set in green cloth bindings stamped in gold on the spine and front covers with light wear to the spine edges and slight discoloration to the front board of Volume 1. This set is complete with the facsimile letter of Grant's original terms for Lee's surrender that is often missing. Mark Twain was the publisher of this monumental memoir as well as its editor and proof reader. Twain was extremely fond of and a close friend of Grant and encouraged the President and war hero to write his memoirs. Grant was dying of throat cancer but completed his two volume opus dictating the second volume to a secretary. Twain noted in a letter to his daughter that the manuscript was not even set yet and 20000 sets had been ordered from only two states. "Wait till you hear from the other 37." Grant finished his memoirs on July 18 1885 and died five days later on July 23rd. Following his death advance orders of the memoirs reached 300000 sets realizing close to $450000 for his family which was otherwise penniless. In a 1992 New York Times book review General Schwarzkopf is quoted as using Grant's two-volume work as his model calling it the finest military history of the Civil War. Charles L. Webster & Company, hardcover
