[Abarbanell, Jacob Ralph], Life and Memoirs of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Being a Full Record of His Early Days, His Military Achievements during the War, His Two Administrations as President of the United States, His Tour Around the World, His Welcome Home, His Trips through the Southern States and to Cuba and Mexico, His Connection with the Grant & Ward Failure, and His Being Retired with the Rank and Pay of General. The Most Complete History ever Published. By an Old Army Officer (New York: Norman L. Munro, 1885). 86 pp., paper.

The Library of Congress (DLC) catalogue credits Abarbanell (1852-1922) with authorship of this addition to Munro's Library ("Popular Novels Issued in a Convenient Form for the Pocket," Vol. 1, No. 335, April 20, 1885). A New York editor and lawyer, Abarbanell wrote several novels and plays, translated French and German fiction, and compiled a combination joke book and almanac.

Abbott, John S. C., The Life of General Ulysses S. Grant. Containing a Brief But Faithful Narrative of Those Military and Diplomatic Achievements Which Have Entitled Him to the Confidence and Gratitude of His Countrymen (Boston: B. B. Russell; Cincinnati: White, Corbin, Bouvé, & Co.; San Francisco: H. H. Bancroft & Co., 1868). 309 pp., illus.

Abbott (1805-1877), a Congregational minister, wrote over fifty books on ethics and history. Prominent among the latter are his biographies of Napoleon (1855) and Frederick the Great (1871); his writings on American history include a two-volume work on the Civil War (1863-1866), and an uncompleted series on the "Pioneers and Patriots of America."

The author's intention was to "present the character of a thoughtful, reserved, taciturn man,--a man of tireless energies, of great breadth of comprehension, of the highest order of administrative genius." (4) After brief introductory chapters on Grant's early life, Abbott follows him through the Civil War and concludes with his farewell address to the troops. The text is marked by unoriginality and, even for its day, an extreme tendency towards melodrama.

[Adams, Henry], A Radical Indictment: The Administration--Its Corruptions & Shortcomings. Its Weakness and Stolidity. Thorough Analysis of Grant and Boutwell's Mental Calibre. No Policy--No Ability. A Graphic Review of Our Recent Political History ([Washington: National Democratic Executive Resident Committee, 1872]). 16 pp., paper.

Adams's (1838-1919) varied career is well examined in several biographies and in his own Education of Henry Adams, which includes another indictment of Grant (255-67, 1918 ed.).

This campaign pamphlet was condensed from Adams's article on "The Session," North American Review CXI, 228 (July 1870), 29-62.

[Adams, William T.], Our Standard-Bearer; or, the Life of General Ulysses S. Grant: His Youth, His Manhood, His Campaigns, and His Eminent Services in the Reconstruction of the Nation His Sword Has Redeemed: As Seen and Related by Captain Bernard Galligasken, Cosmopolitan, and Written Out by Oliver Optic (Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1868). 348 pp., illus.

Adams (1822-97) under "Oliver Optic" and other pseudonyms wrote 126 books and about a thousand short stories for boys, with Our Standard-Bearer as one of his few attempts at non-fiction. Though the preface acknowledges an indebtedness to several works (Coppée's Grant and His Campaigns and Howland's Grant as a Soldier and Statesman among them), and a "desire to set forth 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth'," (7) "Captain Galligasken" also "plentifully besprinkled his pages with anecdotes, some of which have never been related before, for they are the most telling illustrations of individual character." (97) The text is illustrated by Thomas Nast.

Addie, Christopher L., The Mark of a General, A Tribute to U. S. Grant (New York: Privately printed, 1894).

Addie seems to be a militant atheist, who writes about Grant during his war years. Because Addie slanted Grant's alleged conversations toward his own anti-religious persuasion, this book was not popular, and only 100 copies were printed (several of these being destroyed by the clergy).

Address of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and Reply of Ulysses S. Grant, Commander-in-Chief U.S. Army Upon Presentation to the latter of his Commission as Lieutenant-General (n.p.: n.p., 1864).

A speech given at a party given by the Grand Association of the Industrial Exposition in honor of Grant.

Alexander, Augustus W., Grant as a Soldier (St. Louis: Published by the Author, 1887). 249 pp.

Alexander, born in 1832, is listed on the title page as a member of the St. Louis Bar; no other details of his life are known, and this is his only book.

The work begins with an essay on military art which contains the extraordinary statement that "Ignorance in the military profession is almost a necessity," (7) and proceeds to "consider Gen. Ulysses S. Grant merely as a military leader." (41) Alexander's general thesis is that events determine their own outcome, and that generals have but a small role to play: "The trick of ascribing to Gen. Grant the merit of suppressing the rebellion merely because he was the official head of the Federal army, though good for campaign purposes, has ceased to be useful." (3)

[Alexander, Charles W.], General Grant's Lady Detective. A Most Singular Narrative: Showing how for a Long Time is Every Movement was Watched, and his Steps Dogged Day and Night by Spies. And How, Through the Bravery of Miss Maud Melville, the Heroine of Vicksburg, the Plot was Unravelled and Broken Up (Philadelphia: C. W. Alexander, [1868]). 99 pp., paper, illus.

Alexander's continued adventures of Miss Maud Melville show her lending further aid to Grant in breaking up a spy ring and through sundry other heroic services to the Union cause.

[Alexander, Charles W.], Maud of the Mississippi. A Companion to Pauline of the Potomac. By Wesley Bradshaw ... A Thrilling Narrative of the Adventures of Miss Pauline D'Estraye, a Young and Beautiful French Lady Who, After Performing the Most Heroic Deeds in Virginia, in Behalf of the Union, was Sent Officially to the Department of the Mississippi, Where she Rendered herself for ever Famous by her Conspicuous Daring and Bravery During the Vicksburg Campaign under Major-General U. S. Grant (Philadelphia: C. W. Alexander & Co., 1863). 94 pp., paper, illus.

Alexander (1837-1927), writing anonymously or as "Wesley Bradshaw," wrote and published many books of fiction, history, and biography. In Maud of the Mississippi he continues the adventures of the daring Pauline of the Potomac, or Gen. McClellan's Spy (1862). Alexander's heroine, variously referred to as "Pauline D'Estraye" and as "Maud (or Pauline) Melville," appears almost totally responsible for Grant's success at Vicksburg.

Allen, Hugh, Grant, "The Hamerer;" or, The Terrible Path to Fame The War Library (New York: Novelist Publishing Co., n.d.).

Allen's book is listed as no. 127 in a listing of all the books in The War Library printed as a part of Van Orden (which gives some indication of date of publication and format). The listing further reads: "Narrative of the Wonderful Operations Before Petersburg. By Hugh Allen, of the New York Press."

Including a Record of the Principal Events and Experiences of the War. Published under the Auspices of the Webster Historical Society (Boston: Stephen M. Allen, 1889). 224 pp., illus.

Allen (1819-94) wrote several other books, among them two histories of the Republican Party (1879, 1881).

For this volume Allen chose newspaper accounts of events in Grant's career as "the safest guide for a memorial volume." (7)

Allen, Walter, Ulysses S. Grant, The Riverside Biographical Series, No. 7 (Boston and New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1901). 153 pp., illus.

Save for brief periods at other occupations, Allen (1840-1907), made his career as a journalist. His biography, factual and complimentary, may well have been written in response to Wister's Ulysses Grant; whatever the reason, Allen felt it necessary to point out that Grant "was not a worshipful hero. Like ourselves all, he was a combination of qualities good and not good. The lesson and encouragement of his life are that in spite of weaknesses which at one time seemed to have doomed him to failure and oblivion, he so mastered himself upon opportune occasion that he was able to prove his power ..." (4)

[Allen, William H.], The American Civil War Book and Grant Album: "Art Immortelles," A Portfolio of Half-Tone Reproductions from Rare and Costly Photographs Designed to Perpetuate the Memory of Ulysses S. Grant ... (Boston and New York: William H. Allen, [1894]). [264 pp.], illus. Originally published in 16 parts.

According to the DLC card catalog, this extensive compilation of photographs was originally published in 16 parts issued from May 1 through Dec. 15, 1894, then assembled and reissued in book form.

Though the album lacks any systematic organization of its unnumbered pages, a table of contents helps in sifting through them. Illustrations include the Grant memorabilia given to the government, now in the Smithsonian Institution.

Ammen, Daniel, The Old Navy and the New ... With an Appendix of Personal Letters from General Grant (Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1891). 553 pp., illus., facsims.

Ammen (1819-98) first knew Grant as his boyhood playmate in Georgetown in Ohio, and the two men became close friends in Washington after the Civil War. Grant was instrumental in having the distinguished naval commander removed from sea duty and placed in charge, from 1868 until his retirement as rear admiral in 1878, first of the Bureau of Yards and Docks and then of the Bureau of Navigation.

Grant appears frequently in the autobiographical section of the book. These reminiscences, and the letters and commentary of the appendix, are a reworking of Ammen's "Recollections and Letters of Grant," North American Review CXLI, cccxlvii (Oct. 1885), 361-73; cccxlviii (Nov. 1885), 421-30.

A second edition was published by Lippincott in 1898 under the title The Old Navy and the New. Memoirs ... for More than Half a Century Ashore and Afloat. With an Appendix of Personal letters from General Grant.

When the British Army announced that promotion examinations for 1908-9 and the Staff College examination for 1909 would cover Grant's Va. campaign May 3-June 30, 1864, Anderson, a lecturer on military history and strategy at the Royal United Service Institution, wrote a cram book on the subject.

Arnold, Matthew, General Grant: An Estimate (Boston: Cupples, Upham & Co., Old Corner Bookstore, 1887). 66 pp.

Arnold (1822-88) may have been as well known in the United States of the 1880s for his critical views of American politics and society as for his poetry and prose. Even this tribute to an American hero as man and author met some resentment for contrasting Grant with his countrymen. The New York Tribune of March 1, 1887, for example, wrote that "The fastidious critic of the elegance and adornments of life never seemed to us so small, so little worth while as when he ranged himself on the side of this strong and simple patriot-soldier." Mark Twain, hardly an admirer of Arnold in the first place, delivered an angry denunciation of the essay in an address before the annual reunion of the Army and Navy Club of Connecticut on Grant's birthday, April 27, 1887.

Other editions:

1. The essay was first published in England as "General Grant" (the qualifying subtitle was added by the American publisher) in Murray's Magazine I (Feb. 1887), 130-44; (March 1887), 150-66.
2. Cupples and Hurd of Boston published the essay in 1888 (again using the subtitle) in a collection of Arnold's writings on America: Civilization in the United States: First and Last Impressions. A facsimile reprinting was issued in 1972 by Books for Libraries Press, Freeport, New York.
3. General Grant by Matthew Arnold with a Rejoinder by Mark Twain. Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois University Press [1966]. 58 pp. (2nd ed., Kent State University, 1995). This edition, edited and with an introduction by John Y. Simon, contains the text of Twain's address taken from the Hartford Courant, April 28, 1887.

Aron, Joseph, Alsace-Lorraine, Monument to Grant: Un Phalsbourgeois refuse d'accepter l'invitation du Maire de New-York, et explique son refus; Refusal of Mayor Grace's invitation by a Native of Phalsbourg, and his explanation ... (New York: Imprimerie Thompson & Moreau, 1885). 119 pp., paper.

In this pamphlet Aron, a native Alsatian and, evidently, a prominent New York City resident, explains his refusal to serve on a committee to plan a monument to Grant, arguing that Grant and other government officials had been unsympathetic to France during the Franco-Prussian War. Also included are various speeches, letters, and other materials relating to the Franco-Prussian War.

The text is given in French and English on facing pages. The cover title reads: Les Deux Républiques Soeurs, France et Etats-Unis, Grant-Bancroft-Bismarck, and lists Calmann Lévy, Paris, as co-publisher.

Atkinson, born in 1880, was a lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers at the time this book was published. The work is an analysis of the field operations of the main body of Grant's command during the Wilderness campaign, and of other armies within the same theatre of war so far as Grant influenced them, or as they influenced the action of the main army. Confederate movements are examined only when necessary to explain Grant's operations.

[Ayer, N. W., & Son], Our Great Commander ([Philadelphia: Press of N. W. Ayer & Son, 1910]). [40] pp., paper, illus., facsims.

The Ayer firm of newspaper advertising agents annually prepared, probably for its clients, "a booklet relating to our Nation or to some of its noble army of defenders. This year our thoughts have turned to Ulysses S. Grant, soldier and President, great man of war, great man of peace, patriot who always did his best, friend of those against whom he fought, and who, dying healed forever the wounds of our brothers' war." (explanatory note bound at end).

The volume contains pen sketches of various incidents of Grant's life and numerous reproductions of photographs, engravings, and letters.

Badeau, Adam, Grant in Peace. From Appomattox to Mount McGregor. A Personal Memoir (Hartford: S. S. Scranton & Co., 1887). 591 pp., illus., facsims.

In late 1884, Badeau rejoined Grant to assist him in writing articles for the Century and his memoirs. In May 1885, Badeau demanded more money for his assistance, Grant refused, and their long friendship ended. Grant in Peace, a series of recollections rather than a biography, emphasizes the personal element, ignores the final quarrel, and contributes relatively little on the Grant presidency, since Badeau was then in London. Badeau prints in full 105 letters received from Grant.

Badeau, Adam, Historia Militar del General Ulysses S. Grant (Nueva York: D. Appleton, 1867). 9+pp. Imperfect copy: all after p. 9 (introduction) wanting.

Badeau, Adam, Military History of Ulysses S. Grant, From April, 1861, to April, 1865 Vol. 1 (New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1868). 683 pp., illus., maps. Vols. 2 & 3 (New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1881). 1324 pp., illus., maps.

Badeau (1831-95) wrote essays for New York City newspapers on theater, music, and fashionable society, some of them collected in The Vagabond (1859). He accompanied the expedition to Port Royal, S. C., as a reporter for the New York Express and later joined the staff of its commander, Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Sherman. Through the influence of his friend, Lt. Col. James Harrison Wilson, he received an appointment to Grant's staff as military secretary in 1863. Continuing as secretary to Grant in the postwar period, he began to write the Military History, using Grant's record books and verifying facts through Grant. After Grant's election as president and the publication of the first volume, Badeau went to London as secretary of the legation, then consul-general. Although separated from Grant except for a brief period during the trip around the world, Badeau maintained contact with Grant's staff in preparing material for the remaining volumes, with Grant reading and approving the chapters. See introduction.

Although the Military History trudges from one document to the next and is overly-defensive, it possesses considerable importance because of its status as a semi-official biography. Early campaigns are virtually neglected while the narration becomes increasingly detailed: the final two volumes cover the last year of the war.

Balch (1852-1923) enjoyed a long career as journalist and author. Though he spent thirty-six years in Europe, climaxing his career as World War I correspondent for the Boston Evening Transcript, he wrote a number of volumes on American history including biographies of Garfield (1880) and Blaine (1884), and a railway guidebook on The Battle of Gettysburg (1885).

Balch's preface echoes an intention common to many of the biographies published in 1885: "It is the profound and universal interest awakened in him because of the sorrows and shadows of his closing days that makes it appropriate to tell the story now." (6)

This open letter to Grant is a diatribe against Governor Bullock of Georgia and on politics throughout the South, but Bard sees Grant as "not the author by the official instrument" (6) of policies he opposes.

Bort, unknown save as author of this open letter, criticized Grant for his controversial General Orders No. 11 (Dec. 17, 1862) and warned him that "every Jew, with the votes he can command, will endeavor to defeat, and with God's blessing, will defeat you!" (16)

[Bothwell, A. J.], General Grant, the Nation's Hero. Sketches of His Life from West Point to Mt. McGregor ([Chicago: Vandercook & Co., 1885?]). 22 pp., paper, illus., facsim.

Bothwell is unidentified save as the author of this promotional brochure "Presented by Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway." The brochure was printed to be inserted in an advertiser's own wrappers; these were evidently removed by many of the recipients, for the same material is catalogued by some libraries under the caption title: Gen. U. S. Grant. Sketches of his Life in Pen and Pencil.

Bourne, W[illia]m Oland, Grant (n.p.: n.p., n.d.). 3 pp., paper.

Bourne (1819-1901), author of many poems on patriotic and other themes, began publishing The Soldier's Friend in 1864 as a journal for men disabled by the war. He later organized a campaign to teach amputees to write with their left hands, enlisting the services of Grant and other military leaders in awarding prizes to the best writers.

Bourne probably wrote this eulogistic poem shortly after Grant's death.

Boyd (1836-1910) wrote a large number of books of history, biography (including lives of Sherman, Sheridan, Blaine, Harrison, Cleveland, and McKinley), and religion. The biographical information is largely an adaptation of other works, but Boyd also compiled a considerable amount of material from newspapers and other sources to provide a concise view of public reaction to Grant's death.

Brockett, L[inus] P[ierpont], Grant and Colfax: Their Lives and Services. With Portraits, Maps and Plans (New York: Richardson and Company, [1868]). 136 pp., paper, illus., maps.

Brockett (1820-93) began his career as a physician, but his interest in history soon absorbed all his time and energy. He published about fifty books, many of them on Civil War topics.

Much of the material here (1-113), itself primarily a reworking of the Grant chapter in Our Great Captains, was adapted for the first chapter (17-60) of Brockett's Men of Our Day, or, Biographical Sketches of Patriots, Orators, Statesmen, Generals, Reformers, Financiers, and Merchants ...(Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis: Zeigler, McCurdy & Co., 1868).

[Brockett, Linus Pierpont], Our Great Captains. Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, and Farragut (New York: Charles B. Richardson, 1865). 251 pp., illus.

Our Great Captains was published anonymously as the war was ending. As in his later writings on Grant, Brockett uses anecdote to illustrate the character of the "captain" whose "sole ambition is to bring this war to a successful termination,--to become, by virtue of hard and telling blows, an arbiter of peace." (86)

Another edition: 1866. 292 pp. The additional pages cover the end of the war for each "captain" (the Grant chapter is extended through p. 91) and include an appendix of documents.

Brooks (1846-1902), author of over forty historical or biographical books for young readers, was for many years an editor for Lothrop.

The True Story of U. S. Grant shows Grant "as an example of persistence, of determination and of will, of a clear head in emergencies and a great heart in victory, of modesty, patience, simplicity, strength and zeal."

Another edition: [1939].

Brooks, William E., Grant of Appomattox: A Study of the Man (Indianapolis and New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1942). 347 pp., illus., maps, notes, bib. (pp. 315-36).

Brooks (1885- ) graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary and was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1904. He was an army chaplain in World War I and served as a minister to churches in Pennsylvania and West Virginia until his retirement in 1948. His other books include Lee of Virginia (1932).

"As Grant of Appomattox he ought ever to be known," writes Brooks, "for at Appomattox he reached the height of his glory, the climax of his achievement." (16) Beyond biography, Brooks's work seeks to trace the development of Grant's mind and character, to show him as "a man who grew through the strains that were put upon him." (14)

Grant of Appomattox is based upon original records and manuscript materials as well as printed works. A chapter on "An Old Diary" (227-37) quotes extensively from William W. Smith's record of Grant at Chattanooga.

Brosius (1843-1901), a Pennsylvania lawyer, served in Congress from 1889 until his death. This speech, delivered on the occasion of the acceptance of the Grant statue, is a "review of the character and career of Ulysses S. Grant." (3) Another speech delivered on the same occasion is Dolliver.

The text was reprinted from the Congressional Record, 56th Cong., 1st sess., 1900, 33, pt. 7: 5771-5774.

Brunker (1844-1911), a British army officer, was the author of a number of works on military history.

This book was one of several outlines written to assist British army officers in preparing for the Military History for Promotion Examination of Nov. 1908. For similar works, see Anderson, Atkinson.

Burne, Alfred H., Lee, Grant and Sherman: A Study in Leadership in the 1864-65 Campaign (Aldershot, England: Gale & Polden, Limited, 1938). 216 pp., illus., maps, index.

Burne (1886-1959), a distinguished British army officer, wrote other books on military history.

In this book Burne attempts to assess the military abilities of the three generals and, though he is fairly critical of all three, concludes that "great men they all three were." (198)

The organization of the book (a short outline of events of a brief period followed by a commentary) is effective, and the text is well supplemented by detailed maps.

Other editions:

Burr (1843-94)

This biography, one of several published in 1885, resembles the others in many details. Burr's book includes an introduction by Grant's friend and pastor, Methodist Episcopal Bishop John P. Newman, and George W. Childs's recollections of Grant (later published separately).

Burton is identified in the Library of Congress catalogue as the author of several juvenile books on history and biography. The same material was published by Werner in 1898 as a chapter (195-252) in Burton's Four American Patriots: Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S.

R., Dept. of New York, and the Union League Club of Brooklyn, at the Union League Club, Brooklyn, N. Y., Saturday, April 26, 1902 (n.p.: n.p., [1902]). 9 l., paper.

Burton (1850-1923), a lawyer in Indiana before moving to Kansas in 1878, soon became active in Republican politics in his new home state. He served a partial term as U.S. Senator (1901-06) before resigning to publish a newspaper in Abilene.

Burton's speech recalls qualities of Grant's character; he describes standing near the tomb in Riverside Park and thinking "how much more enduring is his fame than marble and bronze." (8)

Butler (1818-93), best remembered as Union general and for his controversial administration of New Orleans, also served during his long and varied career as lawyer, congressman, governor of Massachusetts, and as National Party candidate for the presidency in 1884. His own account of his often stormy career is Butler's Book (1892).

In describing Grant's career Butler finds that his "life and character are necessarily the outgrowth of our free institutions, which they together illustrate, adorn, and glorify." (4) See also Mallam.

Cadwallader, Sylvanus, Three Years with Grant, Benjamin P. Thomas, ed., intro., and notes (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1955). 353 pp., maps, index.

Cadwallader (1826- ), a correspondent first for the Chicago Times and then for the New York Herald, was attached to Grant's headquarters during the greater part of the war. His position gave him an ideal vantage point for observing Grant, yet the thirty years that passed before his recollections were recorded may have weakened his memory of certain events.

Spirited controversy developed over Cadwallader's account of Grant's two-day drinking spree during the Vicksburg campaign; see Catton, "Reading, Writing and History," and Parks.

Extracts from Cadwallader's book were published in American Heritage VI, 6 (Oct. 1955), 65-93; also see Thomas for an account of his discovery of the manuscript.

Campbell, second lieutenant in the 5th Iowa Infantry (later Cavalry) during the Civil War, discusses the attributes of character in Grant that "marked him the great soldier of the civil war." (11)

Cannon, John, History of Grant's Campaign for the Capture of Richmond (1864-1865) with an Outline of the Previous Course of the American Civil War (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1869). 470 pp., notes.

Cannon, a British writer, offered his countrymen an opportunity to "consider with pride the manly bearing of the nation we founded." (vi) His book, though based on secondary sources and written from afar, is a fair attempt by a foreign writer at describing the events of the American war.

Cannon, Joseph G., Speech ... Before the Middlesex Club, Boston, Mass., Saturday, April 30, 1910, on "Ulysses S. Grant, the Modest, Courageous Man, the Normal American" (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1910). 15 pp., paper.

Illinois Republican Congressman Cannon (1836-1926) served in the House for all but two terms during the years 1873-1923 and was speaker during the 58th through the 61st Congresses. His career is described by his secretary, L. W. Busbey, in Uncle Joe Cannon (1927).

Cannon's speech before the Republican Middlesex Club deals more with political issues than with Grant.

Carpenter (1921- ), a professor at Fordham University, earlier wrote a biography of General Oliver O. Howard.

Carpenter's book, based on extensive research, serves best as a brief introduction to Grant, especially the presidency.

Church (1836-1917) resigned his commission as lieutenant-colonel of volunteers to establish the Army and Navy Journal in 1863, founded Galaxy Magazine (later merged with Atlantic Monthly) in 1866, contributed numerous articles to leading magazines and newspapers, wrote a biography of inventor/engineer John Ericsson (1890), and was an active member of many organizations and societies. His busy life is described in Donald N. Bigelow, William Conant Church & the Army and Navy Journal (1952).

Church's laudatory biography concentrates upon Grant's military career and seeks to show "how it happened that a man so free from the passions supposed to dominate the soldier succeeded in the great game of war, where so many others failed." (3) The text is well-supplemented by sketch maps.

[Clark, William Adolphus], Gen. Grant; or, The Star of Union and Liberty. A Play.--In Three Acts. By Anicetus (New York: Samuel French, 1868). 46 pp., paper.

Clark (1825-1906) wrote a number of plays and poems under his pseudonym.

Despite the title, Grant plays a relatively minor role in the drama. The action centers upon John Wilkes Booth whose actions are explained by "the spirit of a reckless Southern misguided patriot" who "met his fate like a brave man, and a hero." (6)

[Clarke, Oliver P.], Description of the Grant Cottage (n.p.: n.p., n.d.). 4 pp., paper.

The cottage in which Grant completed his Memoirs became a shrine for many admirers after his death, and has ever since been maintained as it was then. Clarke was appointed custodian by the Mount McGregor Monument Association and served until his death in 1917. See Pitkin, The Captain Departs, for further information on the Grant cottage.

Clarke prepared a number of guidebooks for visitors to the cottage. This, the first, briefly describes the contents and furnishings of the main rooms and gives a brief sketch of Grant's life and military service. Later, expanded versions (see below) offer a chronological account of Grant's dying weeks.

Cleveland (1802-69), an American scholar traveling in Europe for his health, wrote this open letter to Grant from Clifton, Bristol, England, on Feb. 2, 1869. The letter urges that Grant, for the sake of national honor, restore "Peace, Security, and Personal Liberty to every part of our wide domain, even at the expense, if it need be, of visiting upon every contumacious, murderous rebel the extreme penalty of the law."

Collier (1837-90) was pastor of churches in Boston and Chicago, popular lecturer, and author of religious books and magazine articles.

In tracing Grant's career Collier sees his character as the force "which overcame difficulties which no tactics, no strategy, no prowess could have brooked and conquered." (6)

Conger (1872-1951) entered the army in 1898, served on Pershing's staff in 1917, was decorated following the Meuse-Argonne battle, and for a time headed the army's Department of Military Information. He retired as a colonel in 1928.

Conger's article, reprinted from the Wisconsin Magazine of History, IV, 3 (March 1921), 239-62, argues the necessity of professional military training.

Conger, A[rthur] L., The Rise of U. S. Grant (New York: The Century Co., 1931). 390 pp., illus., maps, bib. (pp. 379-82), index.

Conger's book seeks to explain the phenomonon of Grant's rise from obscurity to the command of the Union armies by tracing Grant's development as tactician and strategist. The "rise" of the title describes Grant's education by war itself; even Moltke, Conger argues, could not have arranged a course of training "more simple, orderly, and progressive ... than that which the natural course of events provided for Grant." (284)

Conger concentrates attention upon Grant's campaigns in the West. He quotes extensively from Grant's correspondence, and the text is supplemented by several useful maps.

Powerful New York Republican Conkling (1829-88), an influential figure in both the House (1859-63 and 1865-67) and Senate (1867-81), was a staunch Grant supporter and one of the leaders of the third-term movement in 1880. A biography by his nephew Alfred R., The Life and Letters of Roscoe Conkling (1889), includes a chapter on "Senator Conkling and President Grant" (316-37); a recent biography is David M. Jordan, Roscoe Conkling of New York: Voice in the Senate (1971).

Conkling's lengthy speech answers critics of Grant's first administration and attacks Greeley's platform.

Coolidge, active in Boston civic affairs, delivered the key address at the Middlesex Club's Grant Night Dinner three months after the publication of his biography of Grant. The speech serves as a summary of the book in outlining significant events of Grant's "contradictory career." (5) As in the book, Coolidge says that "no man who ever gained renown was ever more the sport of chance." (4)

Coolidge, Louis A., Ulysses S. Grant (Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, The Riverside Press Cambridge, 1917). 596 pp., illus., index.

Coolidge (1861-1925) began his career as a reporter for the Springfield, Mass. Republican, served for a time as secretary to Henry Cabot Lodge, became Washington correspondent for various journals, and there made the friendship of President Roosevelt who appointed him assistant secretary of the Treasury in 1908, a post Coolidge resigned to accept various important positions in business. His other writings include a biography of Conn. Senator Orville H. Platt.

Coolidge's biography, based on secondary works, is in two distinct parts. The first examines Grant's career through the end of the Civil War, and is far stronger in characterization than in military analysis. The second portion, chiefly devoted to the presidency, is a largely favorable critique of Grant's administration. A useful review is Carl Russell Fish, American Historical Review, XXII, 4 (July 1917), 885-86.

Coombs (1876-1968), the author of other books for boys, seeks in this biography to "inspire in its young readers something of General Grant's high sense of honor, truthfulness, modesty, his thoughtfulness for others, his dislike of all that was coarse, [and] his respect for older people." (v)

Cooper Institute. Executive Committee, Grand Mass Meeting at the Cooper Institute. Nomination of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant to the Presidency. Wednesday, Dec. 4, 1867 (New York: George F. Nesbitt & Co., 1867). 40 pp., paper.

The public meeting at the Cooper Institute, "held in response to a call from a large number of our most prominent merchants, bankers and business men," (3) was a major event in organizing Grant's first presidential campaign. The committee appointed at the meeting included some of New York's most important figures under the chairmanship of merchant Alexander T. Stewart. Among the major speakers were Gen. Daniel E. Sickles and New York politician (later U.S. Congressman) Lyman Tremain[e].

Coppée, Henry, Grant and His Campaigns: A Military Biography (New York: Charles B. Richardson; Cincinnati: C. F. Vent & Co.; Springfield: W. J. Holland, 1866). 512 pp., illus., maps.

Under Coppée's direction The United States Service made many valuable contributions to the literature of the Civil War. Two important articles "by the editor" are: "Lieutenant-General Grant," I, 6 (June 1864), 561-64, and "Grant," III, 5 (May 1865), 401-3. (Also see articles by C. B. Richardson, Duyckinck, and Irwin.)

During this period Coppée began his massive military biography, the most extensive such work written to that time. He relied extensively upon Grant's correspondence and is at his best on the earlier portions of the war for which more published materials were available (he acknowledges Rawlins's assistance in providing some later materials). Grant's report on the armies (July 22, 1865) was another important reference and is included as an appendix (477-512).

Other editions:

1. 520 pp. Adds an index.

Coppée, Henry, Life and Services of Gen. U. S. Grant (New York: Richardson and Company, 1868). 465 pp., illus., maps, index.

Grant's first presidential campaign provoked a new edition and a new title for Coppée's Military Biography. Some textual changes were made, particularly on the later portions of the war, and an earlier concluding chapter on Grant's staff and the appendix were dropped.

[Coppée, Henry], Sketch of the Life of Lieut.-Gen. U. S. Grant. By the Editor of the United States Service Magazine (New York: C. B. Richardson, 1864). 10 pp., paper.

Coppée (1821-95) graduated from West Point in 1845, saw distinguished service during the war with Mexico, and was an instructor at the military academy until his resignation from the army in 1855. He then taught at the University of Pennsylvania, later served as president of Lehigh University, wrote numerous books on history, philosophy, literature, and military science, and edited The United States Service Magazine.

Coppée's brief sketch describes Grant's military achievements, seeing his rise "not like a meteor, bright but fleeting, but as a splendid luminary, whose dawning was amid the clouds of the battle morning of Belmont, but whose meridian splendor is even now at hand." (3)

Corbett, Elizabeth, "If It Takes All Summer:" The Life-Story of Ulysses Grant (New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1930). 319 pp.

Corbett (1887-1981) wrote many books and articles, mostly fiction for girls. For a biography of Walt Whitman written in 1928 she devised the technique used here, that of having the subject and/or others engage in various conversations to reveal opinions and events. "If it Takes All Summer" contains 106 such imaginary conversations about incidents in Grant's life.

Corckell, William (pseud.), The Eventful History of Grant and His Wonderful Donkey by William Corckell, (Late Hostler to Grant) (Algonquin, [Illinois]: Peoples' Publishing Company, 1872). 14 pp., paper, illus.

The unidentified character of Corckell claims to have been an acquaintance of the Grant family and hostler to Grant through the war who turned against the new President when he "left me out in the cold, and took a grandson of hisen to Washington to tend that darned mule." (3) In the poem that follows, however, the author predicts Grant's defeat in 1872 and makes sport of Grant and his less-euphemistically-named mount.

Cousins, Robert G., "General Grant." Address ... Grant Dinner, Middlesex Club, Boston, April 26, 1897 (n.p.: n.p., [1897]). 14 pp.

Iowa lawyer Cousins (1859-1933) served in Congress 1893-1909, declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1908, resumed the practice of law, and engaged in a career as a Chautauqua lecturer.

This address, delivered on the eve of the dedication of Grant's tomb, praises the abilities, qualities, and, particularly, the humility of the man who "bore away no trophy of the war save sorrow, and [whose] only exultation was the salvation of the Union and a larger liberty for man." (11)

Cox (1824-89), trained as a lawyer, made his early career as a journalist. He was elected to Congress as a Democrat from Ohio in 1856, serving until 1865 when he moved to New York and was again elected (1869-85).

This speech, delivered on Aug. 30 to the Democratic Hickory Club of New York City's fifteenth ward, advances the necessity of Democratic unity in opposition to "if not the willful, then ... the ignorant and careless disregard of the very genius of our polity" (14) by the Grant administration.

Cramer (1835-98), a Methodist clergyman, married Grant's sister Mary in 1863. In 1867 he was appointed consul at Leipzig by President Johnson, and in 1871 Grant appointed him minister to Denmark, a position he held for ten years. Cramer wrote articles on theology, European affairs, art, and literature, but this is apparently his only book.

Cramer's book begins with an account of Grant's visit to Copenhagen in 1878 and discusses his conversations with Grant then and at various other times.

Crawford (1847-1917) enlisted in the 48th Pennsylvania and served until the end of the Civil War, then served as a scout during the Indian Wars. As the "Poet Scout" he published several volumes of verse on Indian fighting, the Civil War, and on the Yukon gold rush.

Cross, Nelson, Life of U. S. Grant (New York: n.p, n.d.). 182 pp.

This volume attacks Grant on all fronts, pulls no punches, and minces no words. Grant is presented as an idiot.

Cross, Nelson, The Modern Ulysses: His Political Record (New York: J. S. Redfield, 1872). 182 pp., illus.

Cross, identified on the title-page as "Counsellor-at-Law," provides, if not the most virulent, certainly the most detailed indictment of Grant's first term. He concludes that "it is high time for the people to crush out this wretched usurpation of their rightful powers while yet they may."

Another edition: Life of General Grant. His Political Record, Etc., 1872. The text here is identical; perhaps the title was changed to indicate more clearly the identity of the subject.

Crummer, Wilbur F., With Grant at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Vicksburg and an Appreciation of General U. S. Grant (Oak Park, Ill.: E. C. Crummer & Co., 1915). 190 pp., illus.

Crummer (1843-1920), a Galena resident before and for a period after the Civil War, served as a sergeant in the 45th Illinois. His memoirs of the war provide the common soldier's view of their commanding general, and the concluding chapter includes several anecdotes told to Crummer by his post-war employer, Grant's staff officer William R. Rowley, and other Galena citizens.

Cullom, Shelby M., U. S. Grant. Address of Shelby M. Cullom at the Memorial Services, Springfield, Ill., Aug. 8th, 1885 ([Springfield, Ill.?: n.p., 1885]). 17 pp., paper.

Illinois Republican Cullom (1829-1914) was a member of the state legislature (1860-61, 1872, and 1873-74), representative in Congress (1865-71), governor (1876-83), and United States Senator (1883-1913). He describes his long political career in Fifty Years of Public Service (1911), which contains a chapter on his recollections of Grant and the 1880 Republican convention (169-79).

Cullom's address praises the qualities of Grant's character, compares him to Washington and Lincoln, and asserts that "the world is better for Gen. Grant having lived in it." (2)

[Defrees, John D.], A Record of the Absence of President Grant and Cabinet from the Seat of Government to the Neglect of the People's Business (Washington: n.p., 1872). 8 pp., paper.

Defrees (1811-82), an Indiana state legislator and editor of the Indiana State Journal, had been appointed U.S. government printer by Lincoln.

In 1872, Defrees gave his support to Liberal Republican candidate Greeley, whose letter accepting the presidential nomination is printed here (6-8). The main portion of the text lists absences of Grant and his cabinet officers from Washington and compares the government to a joint stock company in asking whether the people/stockholders would tolerate the same behavior in their corporate officers.

Deisler, Geo[rge] F., and Shepard, Lee, comps., Official Program and Souvenir Book: 1822 Centenary Celebration Commemorating the Birth of General U. S. Grant: Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 27, Bethel, Ohio, April 28, Georgetown, Ohio, April 29, 1922 (Cincinnati: The Court Index, [1922]). 66 pp., paper, illus.

The towns where Grant was born and reared were justly proud of his achievements in later life, and joined much of the nation in marking the centenary of his birth. This souvenir booklet contains photographs and text on the three Ohio observances, including a section on President Harding's speech (listed elsewhere) at Point Pleasant.

Deming, Henry C., The Life of Ulysses S. Grant, General United States Army (Hartford: S. S. Scranton and Company; Cincinnati: National Publishing Company; Philadelphia: Parmalee Brothers; Chicago: O. F. Gibbs, 1868). 533 pp., illus.

Deming (1815-72), though trained as a lawyer, made his early career as a journalist and translator. He entered politics in his native Connecticut, held various state and local offices, and served two terms in Congress (1863-67). During the war he was colonel of the 12th Connecticut and provisional mayor of New Orleans from Oct. 1862 to Feb. 1863.

Deming's book is primarily a military biography concentrating upon such of Grant's campaigns as "best served to illustrate his character as a general." (6) In writing Deming placed great reliance upon Badeau's Military History (listed elsewhere) and original materials he examined while a member of the House.

[Democratic Party. Michigan. State Central Committee], The Democratic Platform. Letter of Acceptance of Horatio Seymour. The Radical Platform. Grant's Acceptance of the Radical Nomination ([n.p.: n.p., 1868]). 15 pp., paper.

The Democratic Record. The Tariff Question. General Grant's Speech at Warren, Ohio (n.p.: Massachusetts Republican State Committee, 1880). 32 pp., paper.

Evidently a pamphlet on campaign issues, including the tariffs, that adds Grant's speech to complete a signature. See The Case Summed up in Seven Minutes; General Grant's Speech, Why I am a Republican; Gen. Grant's Reasons for Supporting Gen. Garfield; and "Reasons for Being a Republican."

[Denison, Charles Wheeler], The Tanner-Boy and How He Became Lieutenant-General. By Major Penniman (Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1864). 316 pp., illus.

Denison (1809-81), a newspaperman and clergyman, edited the Emancipator, an antislavery journal published in New York, and wrote numerous books against slavery, drink, and other social evils. Early in the Civil War he lectured for the North in England, and spent the last two years as a chaplain at military posts and hospitals. Among his many writings are juvenile biographies of Generals Nathaniel P. Banks and Winfield Scott Hancock and an adult biography of Sheridan.

Denison's biography of Ulysses "Sidney" Grant is typical of its day in sometimes sacrificing accuracy in order to provide an uplifting moral tale for young readers. "Three Doubtful Grant Letters," Ulysses S. Grant Association Newsletter, II, 4 (July 1965), 19-24, reprints three early Grant letters Denison undoubtedly invented for The Tanner-Boy.

Other editions:

1. "Eighth Thousand."
2. The Tanner-Boy; a Life of General U. S. Grant. 1896. 336 pp. The additional pages of this "Tenth Thousand" printing conclude the war. Whether they were written by Denison is uncertain.

Depew, Chauncey M., Addresses by the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, at the Unveiling of the Statue of General Grant at Galena, Ill., June 3rd, 1891, and at the Laying of the Corner Stone of the Masonic Asylum and Home, at Utica, N. Y., May 21st, 1891 ([New York: E. C. Lockwood, 1891]). 32 pp., paper.

Depew (1834-1928) began his long career in law and Republican politics in 1858. In 1866 he declined an appointment as the first minister to Japan to become attorney to Cornelius Vanderbilt, was instrumental in organizing the New York Central & Hudson River Railway, and became its president in 1885. Meanwhile, he continued an active involvement in politics, received ninety-nine votes as a candidate for the presidential nomination in 1888, twice declined to serve in Harrison's cabinet, and was elected U.S. Senator (1899-1911). A portion of his autobiography, My Memories of Eighty Years (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1922), recalls conversations with Grant (67-74). Similar material was published as a part of "Leaves from my Autobiography," in Scribner's, LXX (Nov., Dec. 1921), 515-30, 664-76.

Depew, renowned as a wit and raconteur, was a popular speaker. Though he had opposed Grant's reelection in 1872, his Galena and other speeches are glowing tributes to Grant.

The Galena speech is reprinted in Orations, Addresses and Speeches of Chauncey M. Depew, John Denison Champlin, ed. (New York: Privately Printed, 1910), I, 119-28, and as "Our Glorious General" in Thoughts for the Occasion, J. Sanderson, ed. (New York: E. B. Treat and Company, 1905), I, 370-73.

Other Depew speeches on Grant are:

1. "Birthday of General Grant: Speech at the Dinner to Celebrate the Anniversary of the Birth of Gen. Grant, at Delmonico's, New York, April 27, 1888," in Champlin, III, 225-30, and in Masterpieces of Eloquence, Mayo W. Hazeltine, ed. (New York: P. F. Collier and Son, 1902), XXIII, 9705. (Also see [Grant Birthday Association].)

Devens, Charles, Two Addresses Commemorative of General Grant Delivered at Boston, July 26, 1885, and Worcester, August 8, 1885 (Worcester, Mass.: Press of Charles Hamilton, 1885). 21 pp., paper.

Devens (1820-91) began the practice of law in Worcester in 1854 and enjoyed a distinguished career as advocate, justice of the state supreme court, and as U.S. attorney general (1877-81). But it was as a soldier that he was best known, serving through several battles, being wounded twice, brevetted major general, and serving as second in command in the Southeastern Department until his resignation in June 1866. He was elected national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1874.

The Boston address was delivered at a public meeting in Faneuil Hall (see [Boston City Council]) and was reprinted in Orations and Addresses. Arthur L. Devens, ed. Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1891, 155-66. The Worcester speech was given as a part of that city's observance on the day of Grant's funeral, and is reprinted in the same volume at 167-78.

Devon, Louis, Here Is Grant, a Screenplay ([Philadelphia: n.p., 1941]). 42 numb. 1.

Devon, otherwise unidentified, was residing in Philadelphia at the time he submitted a mimeographed typescript of his screenplay to the Library of Congress as a copyright deposit. The script traces several events in Grant's career based on popular accounts and anecdotes. No film was ever produced from Devon's screenplay. Devon also wrote a biographical novel about John A. Rawlins, Aide to Glory (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, [1952]), 246 pp.

Dieck, Herman, ... The Most Complete and Authentic History of the Life and Public Services of General U. S. Grant, "The Napoleon of America" ... (Boston: Boyle Brothers, 1885). 815 pp., illus., maps, facsims.

Though he is described on the title page as "Colonel Herman Dieck, the Well-Known Author," no information has been found on his life or military service. Dieck's other known works are a biography of Grover Cleveland (1888) and a book on the Johnstown flood (1889).

Dieck's biography resembles several other hastily-concocted attempts to capitalize on the interest created by Grant's death and the forthcoming publication of his Memoirs. Useful features here are "Last Days of Grant" (13-16) by Grant's pastor, Rev. John P. Newman, and over two hundred pages of tributes and recollections of Grant drawn from newspapers and other contemporary sources.
