The Civil War Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant

From the Western frontier to the battlefields of Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Franklin, Petersburg, and Richmond, Grant saw the war from the front lines and made the decisions that affected lives on day-to-day basis. His writings provide a revealing look into the life of a commander of the War Between the States.

The Civil War Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant is a popular abridgment of his massive two-volume Personal Memoirs. This monumental edition broke all records in American publishing at the time. Grant died less than one week after completing its writing.

This abridgment solely coverts Grant's experiences in the Civil War from Sumter to Appomattox, giving the reader a front-line seat next to the greatest Union general of the War Between States.
