Description: Grant's Final Victory by Charles Flood Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Prominent historian and biographer, Charles Bracelen Flood, reveals the last year of General Grants life and the portrait of a man, who despite his flaws, had great courage and determination, an abiding love of family and country, and an unshakeable vision for reconciling a divided nation. Publisher Description Shortly after losing all of his wealth in a terrible 1884 swindle, Ulysses S. Grant learned he had terminal throat and mouth cancer. Destitute and dying, Grant began to write his memoirs to save his family from permanent financial ruin. As Grant continued his work, suffering increasing pain, the American public became aware of this race between Grants writing and his fatal illness. Twenty years after his respectful and magnanimous demeanor toward Robert E. Lee at Appomattox, people in both the North and the South came to know Grant as the brave, honest man he was, now using his famous determination in this final effort. Grant finished Memoirs just four days before he died in July 1885. Published after his death by his friend Mark Twain, Grants Memoirs became an instant bestseller, restoring his familys financial health and, more importantly, helping to cure the nation of bitter discord. More than any other American before or since, Grant, in his last year, was able to heal this,the countrys greatest wound. Author Biography Charles Bracelen Flood is the author of twelve previous books, including the bestselling Lee: The Last Years and Grant and Sherman, which Salon.com named one of the"Top 12 Civil War Books Ever Written." He lives in Kentucky.
