Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Ulysses Simpson Grant Collection is an artificial, or subject-based, collection comprising a variety of documents that have been placed in this collection over the years due to their common subject matter (i.e., Ulysses S. Grant). The Ulysses S. Grant Series includes items dated 1858-1885, and consists primarily of correspondence to and from Grant. The series includes eight documents relating to the Civil War and a few items relating to his presidency. The Grant-Dent Family Series includes items dated circa 1885–1959, and comprises material written to or by members of the Grant or Dent families. The Reference Series includes original documents that were collected because they contain information about Grant and typescript copies and reproductions of Grant-related items.
