Grant's final victory: Ulysses S. Grant's heroic last year

A change in fortune

The man waiting for more bad news

The lady at 3 East Sixty-sixth Street

Retreat to New Jersey

An opportunity

To eat a peach, and soldier on

Grant puts on his armor

Mark Twain strides onto the stage

Horses, and a last cigar

A bittersweet Christmas

Things come together

Twenty years after the nation's great redemptive moment ; Reactions to a sick hero ; Unmarked anniversaries

The "man of iron" keeps going

Another loan from Vanderbilt

Sunlight and shadow

Good-bye, Ulyss. And thank you.
