| Summary | "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Complete" by Ulysses S. Grant is a historical account penned in the late 19th century, primarily reflecting on the significant events of the author's life and career, including his military leadership during the American Civil War. As one of the key figures in shaping the United States during this tumultuous period, the memoir serves as both a personal narrative and a detailed analysis of military strategies and historical contexts. At the start of the memoir, Grant shares insights into his early life, family background, and the circumstances leading to his decision to write these memoirs. He expresses gratitude to his friends who encouraged him to document his experiences and stresses his intent to remain fair and just in his commentary regarding figures from both Union and Confederate sides. The preface provides a candid view of Grant’s motivations, including a tumultuous financial situation in his later years that prompted him to write. Furthermore, the opening chapters delve into his ancestry, upbringing, and eventual journey to West Point, setting the stage for a reflective exploration of his military career and the historical events that shaped the United States during the 19th century.
