Synopsis
Excerpt from The Campaign Lives of Ulysses S. Grant, and Schuyler Colfax
Before he was forty-three years of age he had participated in two great wars, captured five hundred guns, more than one hun dred thousand prisoners, a quarter of a million of small arms, redeemed from rebel rule over fifty thousand-square miles of territory, re-opened to the commerce of the world the mightiest river on the globe, and stubbornly pursued his path to victory, despite of all obstacles. Since then, he has crushed out the re bellion in the East, reestablished the authority of the Union over a territory larger than France, taken two hundred battle flags, scores of canon, thousands upon thousands of prisoners, and hundreds of thousands of small arms, and then modestly returned to the capital of the nation, to disband his army of a million of men, lay his sword at the feet of the Congress of the people, and wait their pleasure whether he should fill a high station or become an humble private citizen. The world fur nishes few such examples of greatness and humility, and our country only one other - that of George Washington.
