Grant, William Pitt Fessenden, and George Washington. Writing with admiration and sorrow after the death of Ulysses S.

Concluding this collection, the speech "George Washington" highlights Washington's profound impact on a nascent America, musing on his ability to inspire loyalty and quell conflict through personal influence.
