When the Nation Called a Failure
Picture a man in 1861, working as a clerk in his father's leather goods store, struggling to support his family after years of failed business ventures. Just four years later, he would accept Robert E. Lee's surrender and save the Union. Ulysses S. Grant's Personal Memoirs, penned while dying of throat cancer in 1885, tells one of history's most remarkable transformation stories-not through boastful triumph, but with the same quiet determination that characterized his generalship. Born Hiram Ulysses Grant in 1822, he entered West Point reluctantly, fought in a war he considered unjust, resigned from the army under clouds of alcoholism, and seemed destined for obscurity. Yet when civil war erupted, this unassuming former captain emerged as the North's most effective commander. His memoirs, completed just days before his death, earned his widow the equivalent of $8 million today and stand as a masterpiece of American literature-clear, honest, and utterly lacking in pretension. They reveal how an unlikely hero changed the course of a nation.
