RARE FIRST EDITION IN A VERY PLEASING STATE OF PRESERVATION. VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT CONDITION AND DELUXE BINDING STATE. ‘THE FINEST MEMOIRS OF WAR EVER PENNED’. An important historical memoir of the Civil War arguably the most important and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. Collectible copies of these books are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Copies in this binding especially so. The earliest days of the Civil War were a hard lesson in hubris for the Union Army. After the appointment of Grant to overall command of the Union forces the war would quickly turn to their favor. Probably the most important book on the American Civil War and in many respects a masterpiece of American literature. David Eicher"s useful summary includes this fine judgment: "Grant’s MEMOIRS comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history . . . The work is genuinely that of the commander. As such it is valuable in its scope its plain and clear analysis and language and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war. "In the years following the war Grant would move into the political arena even against his best judgment and would with great public acclaim be elected President of United States for two full terms.

A very handsome bust-length portrait of Grant taken by photographer Henri Le Lieure during Grant's visit to Rome in 1878. Signed "U.S. Grant" in ink on the original mount beneath the photograph. A handwritten note on the paper backing of the frame reads: "This photograph was autographed by U. S. Grant in April 1878 at the home of Dr. Charles McMillan Counsel General Great Uncle of Eunice in Rome Italy. Dr. McMillan had served as Medical Director on Grant's staff throughout the Vicksburg Campaign." The frame with the seal of "The Dayton Company Picture Galleries Minneapolis" on the backing likely dates from early-mid 20th century. The Dayton Company was a celebrated Minneapolis department store in Minneapolis from 1911-1962 ultimately serving as the parent company for Target. Grant visited Rome on his hugely successful post-presidential world tour. "Grant traveled aboard a government vessel. as the representative of his country an emerging power in the world." In Rome he was granted an audience with both Pope Leo XIII and King Umberto I. "Grant wasn't fazed that a king and a pope vied for his company." Chernow Grant pp. 871-73. With printed credit of the photographer "H. Le Lierue Phot. / Rome Place Mignanelli" printed beneath the photo. Henri Le Lieure 1831-1914 was a French-born photographer based in Italy who took photographic portraits of some of the most famous people of his day. Size: Mounted image = 4x5.75 in; with mount = 6.5x8.5 in. Rome: H. Le Lieure 1878. A few stray spots to image beginning of Grant's "U" a little faint probably due to trouble getting the ink to flow.
