The Civil War Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant is a popular abridgement of his two-volume Personal Memoirs, covering solely the War Between the States, from Ft. Sumter to Appomattox, as seen by one of the war's greatest generals.From the Western frontier war to the battlefields of Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Franklin, Petersburg, and Richmond, Grant's memoirs depict war from the commander's point of view. This revealing volume serves as both an historical chronicle and a social document of men at war. Grant reveals his own thoughts on politics, war, and such notables as Sherman, Hallek, Sheridan, and of course his great opponent, Robert E. Lee.These memoirs were written while Grant was dying of throat cancer after his presidency and were edited by Mark Twain. Grant died on July 23,
