1881réf. 150473New York March 3 1881. Letter signed by Ulysses S. Grant as President of the Mexican Southern Railroad Company. One page on Mexican Southern Railroad Company letterhead manuscript in another hand the letter reads in full: New York March 8 1881 Hon Hubert O Thompson Commissioner of Public Works 31 Chambers St New York Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in presenting to you Mr Ricardo Orozco Civil Engineer of Mexico who has been in the employ of the Company which I represent in locating the Mexican Southern Railroad and who has been engaged and is now largely in-terested in the public works about the City of Mexico. Mr Orozco desires to examine the Water Works particularly and other of the public works of this City with a view of acquiring information which he may make available in the work to be accomplished about the capital of his own country. I would esteem it a favor if you would facilitate him in the object he has in view. Truly Yours "U.S. Grant." Mounted and framed with a ticket to Grant's Inaugural Procession two Mexican feather art pieces one depicting the Mexican eagle and flag and another with two American flags with the gold embossed words: Welcome to Grant Mexico 1880 and an engraved portrait of Grant. In near fine condition. Mounted and framed. The letter measures 8.25 inches by 11 inches. The entire piece measures 21 inches by 17 inches. After leaving the presidency Ulysses S. Grant sought to translate his public stature into commercial authority most notably through his role in founding and leading the Mexican Southern Railroad Company. Developed in collaboration with the Mexican diplomat and statesman Matías Romero the venture aimed to build a strategic passenger-and-freight corridor linking Puebla and Oaxaca strengthening regional commerce while attracting U.S. capital to Mexican infrastructure. The company was incorporated in New York on March 1 1881 with Grant serving as its president and functioning as the project’s principal public representative to investors and the press. Despite these high-profile beginnings the enterprise was weakened by slow surveying construction delays and persistent financial instability entering bankruptcy by the mid-1880s. Under subsequent ownership construction resumed and the line was completed in 1892 operating profitably for a time before its eventual nationalization in 1936 a trajectory that underscores both the ambition and volatility of transnational railroad development in the late nineteenth century. unknown

1865réf. 146517Washington D.C. May 10 1865. Rare historical daily menu from the prestigious Willard's Hotel in Washington D.C. dating to the very day that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured. One page double-sided signed inside by Ulysses S. Grant and Philip Sheridan "U. S. Grant Lt. Gen. U.S.A." and "Phil. H. Sheridan Maj. Genl. U.S.A." In fine condition with intersecting folds. Double-matted and framed with an engraved plaque and a window at the rear revealing the front of the menu. The entire piece measures 16 inches by 16 inches. This rare and unique historical document was obtained by the father of New York journalist Edward Page Mitchell who was in the Willard Hotel when the signatures were obtained. Mitchell documented the entire event in his 1924 book 'Memoirs of an Editor: Fifty Years of American Journalism.' The story which can be found on pages 31 and 32 reads: "Several times in the old Willard and many times in its grandiose successor as through a lens at focus I got close-up figures of great personages of the Civil War and of national politics. Of the Willard memories that persist in outstanding two more shall here suffice. Three years after the first visit I went back to that hotel in tow of my father the indefatigable collector of autographs coins memorabilia curios of all sorts. Something of that propensity must have been inherited by me but nothing of his systematic thoroughness in the practice. This sojourn at the inn of Messrs. Sykes Chadwick & Co. occurred a few weeks after the culminating events of the war and a few weeks before the grand review in Washington of the victorious armies. Sheridan's cavalry had rejoined Meade's army south of the James. Jefferson Davis had been captured by his pursuers under General James H. Wilson. Grant with the instinctive delicacy of a gentleman had delegated to General Joshua L. Chamberlain of Maine the honor of receiving Lee's surrender. The commander-in-chief was at the capital established in Halleck's old office in the War Department. Willard's was crowded with officers of the high command. I saw Grant there and Sheridan; the third of the great triad of military success General William Tecumseh Sherman of the march to the sea is not identified in my recollection of the assembled leaders. Immense was my father's satisfaction when he procured a dinner menu for Wednesday May 10 1865 setting forth in bronze ink the chef's programme for the day beginning with cove-plant oysters and promising the guests in a queer blending of good English and indifferent near-French such things as 'Fillet de Boeuf pique' and 'Assorted Vegetables' down to 'Petit pastry au Gelee' and coffee; the entire prospectus being displayed under the more or less mysterious legend 'Still so Gently.' But what gave interest and value in my father's eyes to this menu was its joint indorsement in close juxtaposition on a blank space opposite the 'Epigramme d'Agneau' and the 'Assorted Vegetables' by 'U. S. Grant Lt. Gen. U.S.A.' in acutely angular autograph and 'Phil. H. Sheridan Maj. Gen. U.S.A.' in the sprawling scrawl or scrawling sprawl characteristic of that dashing soldier's chirography." unknown

RARE FIRST EDITION IN A VERY PLEASING STATE OF PRESERVATION. VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT CONDITION AND DELUXE BINDING STATE. ‘THE FINEST MEMOIRS OF WAR EVER PENNED’. An important historical memoir of the Civil War arguably the most important and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. Collectible copies of these books are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Copies in this binding especially so. The earliest days of the Civil War were a hard lesson in hubris for the Union Army. After the appointment of Grant to overall command of the Union forces the war would quickly turn to their favor. Probably the most important book on the American Civil War and in many respects a masterpiece of American literature. David Eicher"s useful summary includes this fine judgment: "Grant’s MEMOIRS comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history . . . The work is genuinely that of the commander. As such it is valuable in its scope its plain and clear analysis and language and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war. "In the years following the war Grant would move into the political arena even against his best judgment and would with great public acclaim be elected President of United States for two full terms.
