New York: Charles Webster & Company, 1885 - 1886. FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING. First printing of one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history. First printing with the first volume dated 1885, and the second 1886. Bound in the publisher's cloth bindings, with the gilded medallions to the covers and the 4 star shoulder straps on the spines. 9.5 inches tall. Printed on thick, quality paper, and well laid out, with larger than average text. Illustrated with numerous steel engravings, facsimiles, and 43 maps. This set, although complete, is only in good condition, and consistent with that book grade. The wear mainly being a lot of generalized wear, well read, and the bindings, although still bound, are very loose. There are some overextended pages and gatherings, with rough edges. Internal hinge paper is splitting. The exterior hinges, though abraded, are still sound and strong. The fold out in volume one is intact. The fragile Appomattox treaty fold out in volume two is fully intact as well, but with one minor closed edge tear, seldom seen so well preserved. No previous signs of ownership. The paper is very fresh and clean, predominantly free of foxing. Despite the aforementioned wear, this is still a nice good copy of this highly desirable first edition. Grant finished his memoirs on July 18, 1885 and died five days later on July 23rd. Acknowledged to be a highspot of American literature, this book was published through the strenuous efforts of Mark Twain. After an ineffectual term as president, ruined by bankruptcy and dying of throat cancer, Grant agreed to publish his memoirs to provide a measure of economic security for his family. Mark Twain agreed to serve as the publisher. Struggling to dictate his notes to a stenographer, Grant finished his memoirs shortly before his death in the summer of 1885. It seemed to Twain, sitting quietly near him in his bedroom at Sixtieth Street, that Grant had fully regained the stature of a hero (Kaplan, 273). No Union list of personal narratives could possibly begin without the story of the victorious general. A truly remarkable work (New York Times). Grants memoirs comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history (Eicher 492). (Dornbusch II:1986.) (Mullins & Reed 35.)
