Thanks, Good information.

The Washington Irving books cover looks bad, but the U.S. Grant book is pretty clean.

Yes it is signed by U.S. Grant?

I have a reprint of the memoirs of US grant. A great read, and as truthful as he could be, with the exception of his "fell off a horse" euphemism for when he got roaring drunk during the siege of Vicksburg.

His ghostwriter was Mark Twain.
