‎Certified copy of a legal documenting providing Grant right-of-way and the right to erect a beach house in Long Branch‎

‎Unbound. Near Fine. One legal folio folded at the top to make four pages. Old folds as filed soiling and small tears at the extremities of the folds very good or better. A certified handwritten copy prepared in March 1885 shortly before Grant's death of an 1880 contract between Grant and Lewis B. Brown of New York City. Signed by various clerks with one seal but NOT SIGNED BY GRANT. The document gives Grant ".forever a right of way to the Atlantic Ocean from Seabrook now Ocean Avenue over and upon the lot. and the privilege to erect a bathing house of moderate size upon the Shore of said Ocean. ." Presumably the "bathing house" was what we'd call a cabana. The document has been docketed and stamped in 1887 two years after Grant's death. Grant's shore house served as the Summer White House during his two terms from 1869-1877 obviously this right-of-way was issued after his term was over. unknown‎

‎Grant, Ulysses S [US] [William Tecumseh Sherman] U S‎

‎General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Annotated Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. U.S. Grant.‎

‎New York: Charles L. Webster & Company 1885-86. Exceedingly rare first edition of the autobiography of Ulysses S. Grant the 18th President of the United States which focusing mainly on his military career during the Mexican War and the Civil War entirely singular owned and annotated by Grant's close friend and most esteemed general: William Tecumseh Sherman. Octavo 2 volumes bound in the original full deluxe tree calf with gilt titles and elegant tooling to the spine gilt ruled borders to the front and rear panels gilt inner dentelles all edges gilt engraved portrait frontispieces illustrated with numerous facsimile letters 2 folding maps and wood engravings. William Tecumseh Sherman evidently read thes volumes in great detail making marginal notes on at least 18 pages in Vol. I several of them signed with his initials. On the last page of Vol. I Sherman wrote: "Read at St. Louis Mo. Dec 5 6 1885. This account of the Civil War is wonderfully accurate and him. W.T.S." Many of the notes are small corrections and additions by Sherman. On a passage regarding the Yazoo Pass Expedition on page 435 of Vol. I Sherman pointedly writes: "This conforms literally to my memoirs on the point most contested by Grant's pretended friends. W.T.S." He provides further thoughts regarding political interference on the next page: "If Grant had gone ahead living off the country we would have been inside of Vicksburg by Christmas 1862 the distance from Grenada to Vicksburg is little more than the circuit we afterward made from Bruinsberg via Jackson to Vicksburg --- This was my understanding when we parted at Oxford and the intervening country was better supplied with hay hominy. W.T.S." On p. 440-441 Grant wrote about the need to assign politically-connected John McClernand as Corps Commander: "I would have been glad to put Sherman in command to give him an opportunity to accomplish what he had failed in the December before; but there seemed no other way out of he difficulty for he was junior to McClernand. Sherman's failure needs no apology." In the margins Sherman's distinctive hand writes passionately: "because it was no failure at all." There is only one marginal annotation in Vol. II; however an autograph note is laid in at p. 123 supplying Sherman's recollection of Grant's first meeting with Lincoln which corroborates Grant's account. While Sherman was not present at the meeting between Grant and Lincoln he almost certainly heard about what transpired from Grant himself. The note reads in full: "Grants Memoirs Vol 2 Page 123 A good story is very correct. 'Si non vero ben trovalo.' Even if it is not true it is well conceived. This is the conversation between Genl. Grant President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton at the time he was addressed to command all the Armies of the U.S. Grant said in his usual quiet manner 'Mr. Lincoln I am told that several well planned campaigns in Virginia have been marred by interference from Washington viz from the Secretary of War or the President now if I am to command I must insist that no military order be issued to any detachment or part of the Army except through me' Mr. Lincoln in his inimitable way turning to Stanton said 'Stanton you and I have been running this machine for two years and have not made a brilliant success. I guess we had better trust this little man' Grant and then then and there the promise was made. And it is to the credit of Mr. Lincoln to say that he kept his word literally never interfering or making any order even when Washington was in real peril from Early's Army in 1865." Grant's insistence that there would be no political interference was likely particularly important to General Sherman who famously hated politicians. In good condition with detaching of the front boards and spines of each volume detaching of the rear board and separation of the folding facsimile letter at p. 312-313. Copies bound in highly polished gilt tree calf are extremely rare with only three other copies known. The first prospectus of Grant's Memoirs listed only 4 bindings: fine cloth full sheep fine half morocco and full Turkey morocco. The only other copy of Grant's Memoirs bound in tree calf was sold at auction - a copy presented to Mark Twain by Julia Grant and inscribed by both. Only two other known copies are located in private collections. To date no copies bound in the tree calf have been traced to institutional collections. As Grant died before publication was complete the only copy that he saw before his death was a prospectus bound in cloth; the extant tree calf copies suggest that the binding was perhaps reserved exclusively for presentations made by Julia Grant. Even the copies presented by publisher Mark Twain to his friends and colleagues were bound in one of the other available bindings. Though this copy bears no presentation inscription by Julia Grant Mark Twain or anyone else it is plausible that one of these figures would have sent the copy directly to General Sherman. After his second presidential term and world tour President Grant was stripped of nearly all of his life's earnings by conman Ferdinand Ward. Grant had forfeited his and his widow's military pension when he resigned as general to assume the presidency and his recent throat cancer diagnosis brought him deep concern about how his wife and family would manage financially after his death. In this moment of crisis Sherman rushed to Grant's aid and assisted him in restructuring his debt ensuring that Grant was able to keep his most prized possesions. Most importantly Sherman also encouraged Grant to do what he should have done years ago - write his memoirs. By June 1884 Grant had begun publishing articles on his major engagements of the Civil War for 'Century Magazine' which paid him $500 for each submission. The articles were received with great enthusiasm and Grant met with the magazine's representatives in early September to arrange for the publication of his memoirs. However when Samuel Clemens popularly Mark Twain learned of the potential arrangement with 'Century Magazine' he convinced Grant to sign with his own subscription publishing company which was able to offer Grant 70% of the net profit made from the sale of his memoirs. This rate was exorbitantly higher than what 'Century Magazine' had proposed. Grant began writing his memoirs in earnest racing against the illness to finish and ensure his family's financial stability. During this time Grant welcomed Sherman's repeated visits. On December 24 1884 Sherman wrote to his wife Ellen: "Grant says my visits have done him more good than all the doctors" Flood p.395. Grant with the moral support of Sherman lived to finish the memoir dying five days after its completion. Widely considered the finest military narrative ever published the memoirs were a national bestseller and Grant's widow Julia would eventually receive nearly $450000 about ~$14000000 today in royalties from their sale.

Grant Preface to the Second Edition.Frederick Dent Grant 1850-1912 was the eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant. / "Books reviews pamphlets etc. cited in the marginal annotation to this edition": v. 1 p. xviii-xix. ¶ Ulysses S. Grant 1822-1885 stands as a pivotal figure in American history known for his roles as a Union general during the Civil War and the 18th President of the United States. Born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Ohio he entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served with distinction in the Mexican-American War. During the Civil War Grant's strategic acumen and tenacity led to key victories including the capture of Vicksburg a turning point in the war. His success on the battlefield led to his appointment as Commanding General in 1864 and he accepted the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox in 1865 effectively ending the Civil War. Grant's presidency 1869-1877 was marked by efforts to ensure civil rights for newly freed African Americans including the enforcement of Radical Reconstruction in the South and the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment granting African American men the right to vote. His administration faced challenges including an economic depression and accusations of corruption. In his later years Grant penned his memoirs which have been praised for their insight and literary style. Despite the controversies of his presidency Grant is often celebrated for his unwavering commitment to equality and his military leadership during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history." --Bing. ¶  Guerre du Mexique 1846-1848 -- Récits personnels.
