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.<br> 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. <br> 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.<br> "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.

"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.
