Grant Relics and Deathbed Reflections from Washington
In a Cleveland Leader Washington correspondent account, Harrison recalls General Grant’s family scattered across New York San Francisco and Mexico by creditors and business interests and notes Grants calm during illness. The piece covers relics at Grant House and Grants last months marked by pain kindness and family bonds. It contrasts a Western cattle run with a moral tale about a New York stock broker and his son’s shift from idle society life to rugged manhood in the West.
