This is a rare and valuable First Edition copy of Ulysses S Grant's Personal History, published in 1868 by American Publishing Co. The book is a fascinating account of Grant's experiences during the Civil War (1861-65), written in English and bound originally in high-quality leather. Its special attributes include being a 1st Edition, and it was published in Hartford CT, North America. The book is a must-have for collectors of rare and antiquarian books, and is of great historical significance, particularly those who follow the Civil War. Although not personally signed or personalized, this book still holds immense value as a piece of American history. Don't miss out on the chance to own this rare and solid piece of history. Great and famous people have commented on the significance of this book over the decades.

A Personal History of Ulysses S. Grant (Hartford, American Publishing Co, 1868). 26 engravings, 8 facsimiles of letters from Grant, Lincoln, Sheridan, Buckner, Lee, 6 maps with a portrait and sketch of Schuyler Colfax, by Albert Richardson. The interior has what may be mildew stains on many pages, likely from the book not always being stored in a dry environment, but the pages are solid, not cracking or torn. Original leather binding is remarkably strong and intact, with attractive spine label that has faded.

The spine is well attached with some slight weakness along both outside edges which are more brittle and wear as noted in photos at the top and bottom of spine. The cover corners have some wear, but not nearly what a 150 yr old book often looks like. Appears the book was stored longer on its back than standing up on a bookshelf. Nonetheless, the book presents well on a shelf for its age and significance.

Finally, there is what appears to be a name written on the second page of Andrew McMahon, dated Oct. 8th, 1868, possibly the original owner. Obviously, I didn't know him, nor is he a relative. This book was given to me by my grandmother who passed away several years ago two weeks shy of her 100th birthday. Used/Rare edition book about Ulysses S.
