Description: Here is a cool reprint of the Russian Revolution for your library! Revolutionary Days Including Passages From My Life Here and There 1876 - 1917 by Princess Julia Cantacuzen, nee Grant. Edited by Terence Emmons. Copyright 1999. The Lakeside Press. 449 pages, illustrated. Small hardbound book measures 4 1/2"x 7". Autobiography of the Russian life of Princess Julia Cantacuzene née Grant- granddaughter of General Ulysses Grant. Just fascinating- she writes as clearly as he did- although with a very specific, elitist and anti- German slant as the wife of a Russian prince/Calvary officer prior to and during WWI and the Russian revolution. Princess Julia Cantacuzene (1876-1975), was an American author and historian. She was the eldest child of Frederick Dent Grant and his wife Ida Marie Honoré, and the first grandchild of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. In 1899, she married Prince Mikhail Cantacuzène, a Russian general and diplomat. Princess Cantacuzène was the author of three first-person accounts of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917, as well as a personal historian of the Russian people during that time. As the wife of a Russian nobleman, she was in a primary position to observe both the Imperial and Bolshevik positions during the Revolution. Cantacuzène was the author of numerous articles which appeared in the New York Times, Saturday Evening Post, and Woman's Home Companion. Her books included, "Russian People; Revolutionary Recollections," (1919); "Revolutionary Days; Recollections of Romanoffs and Bolsheviki, 1914 1917," (1920); and "My Life Here and There." (1922). All of her books were published in the U.S. by Charles Scribner's Sons, and in London by the firm of Chapman & Hall.Revolutionary Days was republished in December 1999 by Lakeside Press, of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company. No international sales or shipping.
