Sept. 2nd 1876 Dear Judge While in Utica Judge Hunt spoke to me of the importance of appointing a member to Judge Woodruff at as early as a day as practicable on account of the great amount of business before the court. I do not know of any lawyer in the circuit to whom to tender the position when it should be Senator Edmunds and he I should dislike to see leave the Senate. But you are well acquainted with the Bar in that circuit and its wants and can no doubt suggest the right man for the place. If you will send me a commission therefore to St. Louis so as to reach me there between the 24th and 28th either filled up of the name blank with suggestions as to the best man I will sign and return it. Very truly your humble servant U.S. Grant." Grant appointed Pierrepont Attorney General of the United States on April 26 1875.

1865Best.-Nr. 3776421/12/1865. Ulysses S. Grant through his intelligence determination iron will and patriotism was the military man most responsible for leading the United States through the greatest time of crisis and chaos in the nation’s history. As general of the Army during the Civil War he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers leading the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy. Moreover all recognized that his strategy had compelled Lee and the Confederacy to fight the kind of war they could not win. Later as president he guided the nation through Reconstruction helping to bind the wounds between North and South while empowering newly freed African Americans. In November 1865 President Andrew Johnson sent Grant on a fact-finding tour of the defeated South to assess conditions and report back on Reconstruction. Grant returned and submitted his report to Johnson on December 18 1865. Grant recommended continuing a reformed Freedmen's Bureau though he advised against using Black troops in garrisons believing it discouraged farm labor. Johnson seized on the generally lenient tone of Grant's report to bolster his own position: Grant's report recommended a lenient Reconstruction policy and that December Johnson declared the reconstruction process complete — a declaration that outraged Radical Republicans in Congress who had just reconvened that same month and were refusing to seat the newly elected Southern representatives including several former Confederate generals and cabinet officers. Samuel Stephen Curtis was born in 1838 in McConnelsville Ohio the son of Samuel Ryan Curtis the future Union major general and congressman from Iowa. Before the war he made his way west to the Colorado gold country where he became a prominent figure in the young territory — laying out the streets of Denver naming one Curtis Street after himself building a business in real estate mercantile trade and mining and serving as the city's postmaster. When the Civil War broke out Colorado's territorial governor sent him east to Fort Laramie to secure arms and munitions for the territory's volunteer companies then on to Washington to lobby for funding — missions he carried out successfully enough to earn a major's commission in the 2nd Colorado Infantry. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1862 and joined the staff of his father then commanding in the Trans-Mississippi theater serving as his aide-de-camp through campaigns in Arkansas and later duty with the Departments of Kansas Missouri and the Northwest. He briefly left his father's staff to command Camp Weld Colorado's training post near Denver at the request of territorial governor John Evans before returning to serve alongside his father for the remainder of the war. Mustered out of the volunteer service at war's end Curtis embarked on a tour of Europe in December 1865 Letter signed Washington December 21 1865 on official “Head-Quarters Armies of the United States” letterhead. “Col. S.S. Curtis late an officer of the Volunteer Service of the United States is about visiting Europe on a trip of information and pleasure. His services and late rank entitle him to consideration abroad from those who have felt interested on the success of the National Cause.” <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
1886Best.-Nr. 115New York NY: Charles L. Webster & Company 1886. Very Good. A first edition set of Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant published in two volumes by Charles L. Webster & Company 1885–86. Handsomely bound in full butterscotch calf with gilt-stamped red and black spine labels marbled endpapers and matching marbled edges this deluxe set includes steel-engraved frontispiece portraits with tissue guards numerous maps plates and both original fold-out facsimiles: General Buckner’s surrender in Vol. I and General Lee’s surrender in Vol. II. Together the volumes span 1231 pages and measure approximately 6.5" x 9.375" x 4" stacked. The set carries notable provenance with both volumes bearing the gilt-stamped name Aubrey Louis Abramson on the front boards and the Abbie & Emily Abramson bookplate on the pastedowns. Volume I also features a San Francisco bookseller label J. Dewing & Co. and a penciled 1951 note referencing a Berkeley textbook shop. Condition is Very Good to Near Fine: light rubbing and edge wear as expected for its age a discreet repair to the spine base of Vol. II and a minor rear cover crack. Interiors are largely clean and crisp with only occasional age-toning. Grant’s memoirs remain among the most significant works of Civil War literature. Written during his final year while battling terminal cancer the project was championed and published by Mark Twain who secured generous royalty terms to benefit the Grant family. Completed just days before Grant’s death in 1885 the memoirs were a commercial triumph ultimately providing his widow with over $450000. This set with its elegant binding and compelling provenance is a fine example of one of the 19th century’s most enduring historical narratives. SD3 . Charles L. Webster & Company unknown
