However, the last period of his life has had a lasting imprint on his reputation and on the history of the war. Grant lost almost all of his wealth in a financial panic in 1884, and to make money he started writing about the war. Writer Samuel Clemens negotiated an advantageous contract for him. Diagnosed with throat cancer, Grant raced the clock to finish the book, dying just after completing it. He is shown here near the end. A huge best-seller, Grant\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Memoirs benefited his family, and the book is one of the great works of American literature: the clarity of the crisp, clean prose anticipates modern American writing. It is also an invaluable history of the war that Grant waged so relentlessly."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Generalmente, la presidencia de Grant se considera ineficaz y da\u00c3\u00b1ada por la corrupci\u00c3\u00b3n. Sin embargo, el \u00c3\u00baltimo per\u00c3\u00adodo de su vida ha tenido una profunda huella en su reputaci\u00c3\u00b3n y en la historia de la guerra. Grant perdi\u00c3\u00b3 casi toda su riqueza en un p\u00c3\u00a1nico financiero en 1884; para hacer dinero, empez\u00c3\u00b3 a escribir sobre la guerra. El escritor Samuel Clemens negoci\u00c3\u00b3 un contrato ventajoso para \u00c3\u00a9l. Al diagnosticarle c\u00c3\u00a1ncer de garganta, Grant se puso un l\u00c3\u00admite de tiempo para terminar el libro y muri\u00c3\u00b3 poco despu\u00c3\u00a9s de completarlo. Aqu\u00c3\u00ad se lo retrata cerca del final. Un enorme \u00c3\u00a9xito de ventas, Las Memorias de Grant, benefici\u00c3\u00b3 a su familia. El libro es una de las grandes obras de la literatura estadounidense. La claridad de la prosa limpia y escueta se anticipa a la escritura moderna estadounidense.
