He published several articles and a book about his life and military experiences in Egypt between 1877 and 1884. McClellan visited Egypt during the 1860s and 1870s but not in a military capacity.

Grant visited Egypt from 5 January to 9 February 1878, and again at the end of January 1879 during his world tour (May 1877–Autumn 1879). Descriptions of his world tour were later published in 1879 in a book by journalist John Russell Young,
