Excerpt from General Grant at Mount Macgregor In the following pages it has been my aim to present, as faithfully as the material at my disposal made it possible, a brief sketch of General Grant's daily life here. That the task has been but imperfectly performed I am aware, and this, I may add, and I think, too, without egotism, not wholly from lack of ability better to perform it. As one, painting from a copy made by other hands and amid the scenes it portrays, must fail to catch something of nature's touch, so one writing of events seen only through the eyes of another, something must be lacking. If the reader catch a glimpse only of one meeting death calmly, fearlessly, his hands busy to the last with the task he has set himself to do, and so gather fresh hope and courage to himself, my labor will not have been wholly in vain.
