Donald Miller, as the elder Ulysses S. Grant, reveals the little known side of the 18^th U.S. President’s life.  Experience the final five months with Grant at Mount McGregor, New York as he hurries to complete his manuscript and leaves a legacy for his family...

However, Grant would write an autobiography of his early life, with great detail paid to the war years.   Under severe duress because of the onset of throat cancer, Grant worked tirelessly day and night to finish the book.  Twain had offered a very generous contract, including 75% of the book’s sales as royalties. 

The 2-volume Memoirs became a tremendously popular read, selling into the millions after Grant’s death.   They were considered by many literary critics to be one of the finest 19^th Century memoirs ever written.
