Vanderbilt Generosity and Public Opinion in Grant Debt Case
A long critique of Cornelius Vanderbilt and his handling of a debt to General Grant, detailing how Vanderbilt lent, later pursued, then offered to pay Grant’s debt with deeds and gifts. Public sentiment shifted from praise to condemnation as Mrs. Grant declined Vanderbilt’s generosity. The essay then shifts to political commentary on Jefferson Davis, Sherman, and recent U.S. political debates, with England’s press and American turmoil noted amid calls for lawful action against violence.
