For your consideration is this 1885 first edition copy of “Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant”, volume I & volume II. The piece was published in 1885-1886 by Charles L. Webster & Company, New York. The piece shows green cloth covers with choice, bold, gold stamped lettering and seal. The book is a fascinating read with a rare fold-out of the terms of surrender given to Robert E. Lee. Volume I shows an excellent etching of Grant as a young soldier and volume II has a portrait of the more well-known image of President U.S. Grant. These memoirs were written in the fall of 1884 and completed four days before his death on July 23, 1885. The set was published by Grant’s friend, Samuel Clemmons (Mark Twain), under the alias of his nephew, Charles L. Webster. This is a wonderful, excellent quality set and a must own for any Civil War enthusiast. The condition of these two volumes is good, with some wear consistent with age, but in good overall condition. There is a facsimile letter on pg. 496 of Vol. II, which in many copies is missing or tattered, however this copy shows it in well preserved condition. The measurements of these books are 9 1/4" x 6 1/2". Provenance: Both volumes come from the Private Library of Arthur W. Grindle.
