Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States (1869–77). As Commanding General, Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. He implemented CongressionalReconstruction, often at odds with Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity nationwide. His presidency has often come under criticism for tolerating corruption and in his second term leading the nation into a severe economic depression. [mehr]

It Was A Lovely Morning In The First Of Summer. Donal Grant Was Descending A Path On A Hillside To The Valley Below--A Sheep-Track Of Which He Knew Every Winding As Well As Any Boy His Half-Mile To And From School. But He Had Never Before Gone Down The Hill With The Feeling That He Was Not About To Go Up Again. He Was On His Way To Pastures Very New, And In The Distance Only Negatively Inviting. But His Heart Was Too Full To Be Troubled--Nor Was His A Heart To Harbour A Care, The Next Thing To An Evil Spirit, Though Not Quite So Bad; For One Care May Drive Out Another, While One Devil Is Sure To Bring In Another. A Great Billowy Waste Of Mountains Lay Beyond Him, Amongst Which Played The Shadow At Their Games Of Hide And Seek--Graciously Merry In The Eyes Of The Happy Man, But Sadly Solemn In The Eyes Of Him In Whose Heart The Dreary Thoughts Of The Past Are At A Like Game. Behind Donal Lay A World Of Dreams Into Which He Dared Not Turn And Look, Yet From Which He Could Scarce Avert His Eyes. [mehr]

The second volume of the Woodville Stories contains the experience of Richard Grant, "in school and out." We are sorry to say that Richard had become a bad boy, and was in the habit of getting into the most abominable scrapes, some of which are detailed in the first chapters of this book. But he is not what is sometimes called a vicious boy, for he has many good qualities, which redeem him from absolute condemnation. There is something noble in his character, which is the germ of his ultimate salvation from the sins which so easily beset him. [mehr]
