The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant, Part 1.

Ulysses S. Grant, a prominent figure in American history, is celebrated for his military success and two terms as the 18th President of the United States, yet remains a controversial character due to his struggles with alcoholism and numerous failures, including a troubled business career and a presidency marred by corruption. His 1885 memoir, written to alleviate financial burdens and support his family, offers a unique insight into the life of a man at once admired and criticized by his peers and posterity.
