Books Quote by Ron Chernow
““Seven months after Grant’s death, Julia received a whopping $200,000 check from Twain and $450,000 in the end—an astonishing sum for book royalties at the time. No previous book had ever sold so many copies in such a short period of time, and it rivaled that other literary sensation of the nineteenth century, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Clearly Grant had emerged victorious in his last uphill battle.””
![“[Mark] Twain was a publisher. He published General Grant's Memoirs (a big success) and had a hand in the publishing of many of his own books. He would, I think, be very keen about the question of how a book would sell.” quote by Hal Holbrook](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/087/hal-holbrook-17109_bigs_mark-twain-was-a-publisher-he-published_1197578.jpg)
