Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Campaigns of Ulysses Simpson Grant, General-in-Chief of the United States Army: Comprising a Full and Authentic Account of the Illustrious Soldier From His Earliest Boyhood to the Present Time If he wasn't at work he was in for mischief. If, while explaining something to his class at the black board, I heard any slight disturbance, denoting some fun, I was seldom wrong, in turning round, in bold ing up my finger to Mr. Sherman. But one was more than repaid for any slight annoyance of this kind, by his irrepressible good nature, and by the clear thought and energy he threw into his work. That he should accomplish something great, I was prepared to learn. But not so in Grant, whose round, cheery, boyish face, though marked with character and quiet manner, gave none of that evidence of what he has since shown he possesses.
