M-545 Grant, President Ulysses S. Memorial Scrapbook

ABSTRACT: Scrapbook commemorating President Ulysses S. Grant.

SCOPE: This scrapbook was compiled within a book entitled Diplomatic Correspondence: Part III, released by the U.S. Department of State in 1866.

An image of Grant is tucked into the front cover, the reverse of which features an advertisement for The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.

The back of the scrapbook also includes several clippings relating to the death of Baron de Hirsch in 1896.

EXTENT: Approximately 203 pages.
