The Personal Memoirs of Julia Dent Grant: (Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant)

Beschreibung

Many of the anecdotes she relates give fascinating glimpses into a very troubled period of American History. A dramatic reminiscence recounts the night that Lincoln was assassinated. Mrs. Grant insisted that she and her husband turn down an invitation to the theater in favor of returning home. It saved her husband's life: he had also been marked for assassination.
