A couple of problems with Julia Grant's memoirs. In the first place they were ghost written.

Grant's memoirs were also "ghost written"

You're mistaken on that. Grant's memoirs were entirely his own work, completed during a race against the cancer that killed him shortly after he completed them. As a trivia note, Mark Twain published them and made quite a bit of money for Mrs. Grant in doing so. He later lost his shirt publishing Sherman's memoirs. I'll let the southron contingent make what they want out of that.
