No wonder they are reputed to be the best Presidential memoirs, if Mark Twain published them. Mark Twain published the best stuff out during that time, mostly himself! ;)

Twain kept a 30% share for himself, so he did quite well in addition to helping set up Grant's family for a comfortable life after his death. He tried to repeat the success by publishing Sherman's memoirs and took a bath on them. I've read them both and I actually thought that Sherman's were the better of the two.
