Description:Julia Dent Grant wrote her reminiscences with the vivacity and charm she exhibited throughout her life, telling her story in the easy flow of an afternoon conversation with a close friend.

It saved her husband’ s life: he had also been marked for assassination.Throughout these memoirs, which she ends with her husband’ s death, Mrs. Grant strives to correct the misconceptions she believed were being circulated about him.
