The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant, edited by Professor John Y. Simon, Southern Illinois
University.
This documentary edition project has been ongoing since the first volume was published in 1967.
Many libraries in the United States own this title, but not necessarily all volumes that have been published to date. The more research oriented the library is, the more likely it is that these volumes sit on their shelves.
Ask your local librarian to help you find them. To help the librarian identify the title and find the holding libraries, tell that person that the OCLC number for the set is: 382397. The librarian will know what that means and how to use it to find the volumes.
