Synopsis

Excerpt from The New Administration: Containing Complete and Authentic Biographies of Grant and His Cabinet So much has been written of late concerning the new President of the United States that another biography of him, however brief, seems superfluous. Yet the present work would be incomplete without some mention of him. It is not our intention, however, to offer the reader anything like a biography of the distinguished head of the nation, but merely to glance briefly at some of the leading events of his life, by which we may hope to arrive at a fair estimate of his character. Ulysses Simpson Grant was born at Point Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio, about twenty-five miles above Cincinnati, on the 27th of April, 1822. He came of a race of soldiers, his ancestors having fought bravely in the the old French War and the War of the Revolution.
