A memorial day poem urges armistice and peaceful progress as the century opens. It contrasts war and love with calls for peaceful change. The page then chronicles General Grant’s legendary riding skill, recounting the famous Cortes charger episode and Longstreet’s memories, followed by a Brooklyn car scene with a dramatic rescue report and a social exchange.
A sweeping historical vignette follows Grant riding the war horse Garland from Mexico to Columbia Barracks. It recalls the assault on Belmont and the six-gun battery leap, Grant’s equestrian nerve, and the capture of his groom. The tale shifts to Marlo Vanderpool in Chicago as she discovers purpose in dancing with the poor, guiding Kenneth Hadley toward a shared vow to use happiness as a force for others.
