Excerpt from The Boys Life of Ulysses S. Grant
This little book is based upon the "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant." For facts concerning the latter years of his life I have relied chiefly upon "Grant, His Life and Character," by Hamlin Garland, to whom I make my grateful acknowledgments. Other works freely used and consulted are the biographies by Coppee, A. D. Richardson, Chas. A. Dana, Wm. Conant Church, Walter Allen, and Owen Wister, Adam Badeau"s "Grant in Peace," Horace Porter"s "Campaigning with Grant," John Fiske"s "Mississippi Valley in the Civil War," Henry Adam"s "Historical Essays," "Abraham Lincoln: A History," by John G. Nicolay and John Hay, Vol. VII of the "Cambridge Modern History," Sherman"s "Memoirs," John Russell Young"s "Around the World with Grant," the "Congressional Globe," and various tables of official statistics.
