    PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF U. S. GRANT, complete
    by U. S. Grant
    PREFACE.
    "Man proposes and God disposes."  There are but few important events in
    the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
    Although frequently urged by friends to write my memoirs I had
    determined never to do so, nor to write anything for publication.  At
    the age of nearly sixty-two I received an injury from a fall, which
    confined me closely to the house while it did not apparently affect my
    general health. This made study a pleasant pastime.  Shortly after, the
    rascality of a business partner developed itself by the announcement of
    a failure.  This was followed soon after by universal depression of all
    securities, which seemed to threaten the extinction of a good part of
    the income still retained, and for which I am indebted to the kindly act
    of friends.  At this juncture the editor of the Century Magazine asked
    me to write a few articles for him. I consented for the money it gave
    me; for at that moment I was living upon borrowed money.  The work I
    found congenial, and I determined to continue it.  The event is an
    important one for me, for good or evil; I hope for the former.
    In preparing these volumes for the public, I have entered upon the task
    with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether on
    the National or Confederate side, other than the unavoidable injustice
    of not making mention often where special mention is due.  There must be
    many errors of omission in this work, because the subject is too large
    to be treated of in two volumes in such way as to do justice to all the
    officers and men engaged.  There were thousands of instances, during the
    rebellion, of individual, company, regimental and brigade deeds of
    heroism which deserve special mention and are not here alluded to.  The
    troops engaged in them will have to look to the detailed reports of
    their individual commanders for the full history of those deeds.
    The first volume, as well as a portion of the second, was written before
    I had reason to suppose I was in a critical condition of health.  Later
    I was reduced almost to the point of death, and it became impossible for
    me to attend to anything for weeks.  I have, however, somewhat regained
    my strength, and am able, often, to devote as many hours a day as a
    person should devote to such work.  I would have more hope of satisfying
    the expectation of the public if I could have allowed myself more time.
    I have used my best efforts, with the aid of my eldest son, F. D. Grant,
    assisted by his brothers, to verify from the records every statement of
    fact given.  The comments are my own, and show how I saw the matters
    treated of whether others saw them in the same light or not.
    With these remarks I present these volumes to the public, asking no
    favor but hoping they will meet the approval of the reader.
