Excerpt from The Weekly Ohio State Journal Annual for 1886: Embodying a Complete Compilation of the Daily Reports Relating to the Last Illness, Death and Obsequies of Gen. U. S. Grant, Including Also Valuable Historical Data, With Illustrations There is no history so fresh and piquant as that recorded by the newspaper. Written immediately upon the completion of events, and during the process of completion, there is a charm of freshness about such reading that the historian of after years, who deals in cold facts and deductions, without the inspiring enthusiasm of current contact, cannot approximate. The history of General Grant will one day be compiled, when the great work and acts of his life have wrought out their legitimate effects, and when his greatness may be carefully weighed, so to speak, in the balance of results, but this history can never have such interest to those who loved and admired the great captain as the daily newspaper record of the latter days of his life, his long illness and death, and the marvelous honors that were paid his memory in the sixteen days following his demise until the final interment in Riverside Park. The following compilation has been made with a view of preserving, in permanent form, this instantaneous photography in all its freshness, and the selections have been made from the best journals of the country, and from the reports of the Western Associated Press, which later in its entirety reads like a splendid romance. Of course, much that follows has been read by the public, but probably by no one in the connected form presented here, and certainly it is not in better shape anywhere for permanent preservation. The book is published as one in the series of Annuals which the Weekly Ohio State Journal has been accustomed for many years to send gratuitously to every yearly subscriber. It is not on sale anywhere, nor will it be, for obvious reasons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
