Not a work of fiction. But when the claim made in the memoirs contradict known facts of the time - that the Grants did not live anywhere that slavery was legal at the time of the ratification of the 13th Amendment, that none of the Dent family slaves were seen with Mrs. Grant or anyone else after February 1863 - then one has to wonder if that particular passage in the book is accurate. Given that it was published so long after the fact and long after Mrs. Grant was dead, it's not hard to conclude that an error or two might have crept in.
