Excerpt from General Grant's Letters to a Friend, 1861-1880

Perhaps no other person not connected with the military service contributed in so great a degree to General Grant's success in the American Civil War of 1861-1865, as the Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, to whom the following forty-eight letters and parts of letters were addressed, during a period of nineteen years. Beginning in the first year of the war the correspondence was continued uninterruptedly until after the close of Grant's second administration and his return from the extended tour around the world. The letters are certainly of no inconsiderable historical value, being dated in many instances from such famous battle-fields as Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and the Wilderness, and revealing in an interesting manner many of the strongest and most admirable traits of General Grant's character. These private communications contain his views upon men and affairs in the western hemisphere, as well as in many of the foreign lands which he visited.
