Out of bad came good. Grant opens
his Personal Memoirs" with frank
admission that he consented to write that
great narrative only because he was iiv-
ing on borrowed money when a publish
er proposed the undertaking. As he pur-
sued his theme he was gratifed to dis
cover an unsupported gift for unfolding
a moving tale of his adventures and
achievements in the field. He wrote on
until he had finished story as imposing
in it's directness and simplicity as his own
nature. And the first sales of 1t brought
his wife, when he was gone, more money
than all the earnings of his lifetime.
One day, in the midst of his writings,
as he was eating a peach, he felt q
stabbing pain in his throat. A deadly
cancer had him in its clutch. With
grim heraism, he fought it until he had
complet..' the two volumes Of his Me-
moirs," although he was was reduced te
