Explanation:
[STC0018784]. Former President Ulysses S. Grant was struggling financially and had recently been diagnosed with throat cancer in the fall of 1884. Mark Twain, Grant’s friend, had long pushed him to write his memoirs, so Twain offered to publish Grant’s book through Twain’s new publishing business, paying Grant $1,000 up front for living expenses. Despite his celebrity, Twain’s assistance was primarily pecuniary, as Grant was an exceptional writer. Grant wrote the work swiftly (366,000 words in less than a year), finishing it just a week before his death in July 1885. By the time Grant’s book was finished, Twain had already pre-sold 100,000 copies, and the ‘Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant’ outsold Twain’s 1884 novel, ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.’
