The books were published and edited by Mark Twain and his nephew Charles Webster (co-owners of Charles L. Webster & Company), and these were the first two volumes in the "Shoulder Strap" series. This is a lovely set of the deluxe bindings of Grant's memoirs, one of the most important works on the Civil War. Very Good+. Volume one's corners rubbed through, volume two's spine gently sunned, else light rubbing to the cloth's edges. An attractive set.
