Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant ? Volume I. Published by Charles L. Webster and Co. New York 1885. The volume is Octavo (up to 9 ¾? tall) with 584 pages. Original embossed green cloth publisher's binding - hardcover. The book has patterned end papers along with a gilt stamped portrait medallion of Grant on the front and back cover. Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. There is a POS on the ffep ? which reads Georgia S. Prescott 1967. There are also two ink stamps in purple which read ? ?J.L. Burns Dealer in Dry Goods, School Books, or anything you want. Washington, Maine.? There is some edge wear to the cover and spine along with some scuffing. The binding is slightly loose yet still intact. There is an engraved frontispiece with tissue guard. There are maps, engravings, gatefold facsimile of the original Terms of Lee?s Surrender as written by General Grant etc. Also includes the printed inscription by Grant that "These volumes are dedicated to the American Soldier and Sailor. New York City ~ May 23, 1885" Many people mistakenly believe sets of this are actually inscribed by Grant. Grant died just days after the manuscript was turned over to the publisher, and never lived to see the work in book form, let alone inscribe any copies of it. This book is fabulously interesting ? I found it hard to put down. This book would make a great addition to anyone?s library ? it is of great historical significant not to mention aesthetically pleasing.
