In the last year of his life, Ulysses S. Grant wrote his Memoirs.
The former President - dying from throat cancer and bankrupt after a Ponzi scheme - penned his account of his military experiences from the Mexican-American War through his role as the commanding Union general during the Civil War.
Grant’s last chapter is the starting point for “The General and Julia,” a new historical fiction novel by Jon Clinch - published by Simon & Schuster.
