I went to U of Chicago, so I have a predeliction for original sources. I’ve got a copy of Grant’s autobiography, but the books that take my head off screaming - they’re so good - are the ones by Joshua Chamberlain. I did enjoy James Longstreet’s autobiography and Anne McVicars Grant’s “Memoirs of an American Lady.” And if you like further back, Benevento Cellini’s Autobiography where he tells you the difference between country eggs and city eggs for egg tempera.
