Excerpt from The Ancestry of General Grant: And Their ContemporariesT HE author has had two objects in View in the preparation of this work, first, to give an account of the ancient sources of the family of General Grant, and secondly, to illustrate, in some degree, the early history of the town of Windsor, and of the families whose pioneer ah cestors assisted in founding the colony of Con necticut. Those ancestors were fellow-towns men with General Grant's, two hundred years ago, in the wilderness, surrounded by the savage foe, and they lie, now, with his in the same old graveyard. It is natural, therefore, that their de scendants should feel a personal interest in him whom the fortunes of war and his own skill in arms have justly made so distinguished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
