Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant: Conversations and Unpublished LettersDuring these visits, etc., the general and I conversed freely on various subjects, he readily answered all questions I put to him. I generally made a memorandum of the most interesting things he had said. He was one of the most instructive and inter esting talkers I ever conversed with. His conversations had wit and humor in them. He was well versed, not only in the history of the United States, but also in regard to the various resources of the several States and Territories of the Union, to say noth ing of his accurate knowledge of recent events in European and oriental countries.We also exchanged letters. Some let ters from him to other members of his father's family also fell into my hands. Some of them throw fresh light on both his private and public character, as well as on several of his earlier campaigns.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
