I don’t know about that. I do know that once he found out he was dying, he
stayed outside and day to finish it. He was working out of his home. I think he
died within a week after it was accepted. (No, he did not die from his
drinking.) This book does not say exactly what it was, just that the doctor
told him it was very serious. By this time he was virtually broke from all of
his spending on their trip around the world. He got used to too much fame And
just never saved any money. Fortunately, Julia had money saved up in a trust
that she could live on. She was used to living a very high style of life.
Doesn’t it seem like this happens to so many people?

I agree with Charisma. It does sound like an interesting book; wasn't it Mark
Twain who wrote, with Grant, his biography? Or amI mixing both or either
general/president or author up

The Personal Memoirs of Julia Dent Grant (Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant) by Bruce
Catton, John Y. Simon, Julia D. Grant
Eligible members of the Bookshare community now have the opportunity to
enjoy your book in an accessible format.
I thought some of these might be interested in this book because it is a
biological account of Ulysses S Grant written by his wife, Juliet Dent
Grant, who is an ancestor of mine.. If there is anyone who likes to read
about the Civil War or anything in American history, you may enjoy this. I
will say that I enjoyed the book as long as it was between the general and
his wife during the Civil War. There were several chapters after that that
recounted what they did after he had finished his presidency. Some of you
may enjoy that, but to me it was there travel guide and history of traveling
around the world.
Valerie and I did this book because of my relations to the family, but I do
think that it could be interesting to a number of people. Not that I was a
great big fan of Gen./president Grant, but more for my ancestry. It turned
out to be better than that.
