Zásady pro vypracování
The student will examine the Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant and see how his recollections have withstood the test of time as historians unravel details of the history of the Civil War in the United States. While it is obvious that some details may not have been known to the former president, what he should have known yet related differently in his Memoirs will be points for the student to illuminate. Finally, the very origin and composition background to Grant's Memoirs, in particular the impact of Mark Twain on its completition and publication, will be evaluated.
