KEPOKT OF THE COMMll'TEE GRANT MEMORIAL
The project for the Connecticut Division, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.,
procuring some memorial that should call attention to the special interest
Connecticut has in General Ulysses S. Grant, had its inception in a report
made to the Division Encampment held at Stamford in 1914, by Charles
H. Bissell, as delegate to the National Encampment at Chattanooga, Tenn.,
in 1913. General Grant was in command of the Union armies at the battle
of Chattanooga and this report referred to his having been a direct descend
ant from Matthew Grant, one of the first settlers of the town of Windsor
Conn., to the fact that his grandfather, Noah Grant, was born and hved in
the State and served in the War of the Revolution in a Connecticut com
pany, and then Mr. Bissell made the following recommendation: "That this
Encampment authorize the appointment of a committee, of which the Di
vision Commander shall be, ex officio, a member, who shall have in charge
the raising of funds and the procuring of a suitable memorial, to be so placed
as to be a public and perpetual reminder of the regard in which the Sons of
Veterans of the Connecticut Division hold the services and memory of that
distinguished grandson of our State, Ulysses Simpson Grant." This was so
far approved by the Encampment as to authorize the appointment of a com
mittee as proposed, they to investigate and report a plan in detail at the next
meeting of the Encampment. In his order of December 1, 1914, Division
Commander Allen T. Pratt appointed the following as committee: C. H.
Bissell, Southington; Chas. W. Roberts, Hartford, and Ralph M. Grant,
Hartford. At the Division Encampment held at New Britain in 1915, this
conmiittee made a report recommending that the proposed memorial take
the form of a bronze tablet, to be placed in the State Capitol at Hartford,
a full sized drawing of the proposed tablet being submitted for inspection.
This report was approved by the Encampment and the committee was author
ized to solicit the necessary funds, which it at once proceeded to do. In its
report to the Division Encampment at New Haven in 1916, the committee
stated that about one half of the necessary funds were in hand or pledged,
that various Camps had expressed an interest and an intention to contribute
but that the committee had not felt justified in proceeding further without
definite pledges for the remainder of the money. In his report to the New
Haven Encampment Division Commander William H. Hart recommended
that the Division appropriate $50.00 from its treasury toward the expense
of the tablet. This was approved by the Encampment and later sufficient
pledges were received for the balance needed and work on the tablet was at
once ordered. The tablet was received from the Gorham Company, who
designed and cast it, in June, 1916, but it was not placed in position until
October 4, when before a company of about 300 persons, made up of State
Officials, representatives of the Grand Army of the Repubhc, Woman's
Relief Corps, Daughters of Veterans, Sons of Veterans' Auxiliary, Sons of
Veterans and interested friends, the tablet was unveiled. The exercises were
in charge of Division Commander Robert T. Alcorn. Following is a detailed
report of the proceedings.

THE GRANT MEMORIAL TABLET
UNVEILING AND PRESENTATION TO THE
STATE OF CONNECTICUT BY
CONNECTICUT DIVISION, SONS OF VETERANS
STATE CAPITOL
OCTOBER THE FOURTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN
ORDER OF EXERCISES
Commander Alcorn: — We are gathered here today for the purpose
of unveiling this tablet to the memory of General Ulysses S. Grant. This
idea was conceived by Charles H. Bissell of Southington, two years ago.
He thought it would be weU and fitting for the Connecticut Division Sons
of Veterans to erect this tablet to the memory of the quiet and unassuming,
and yet thoroughly efficient and proficient soldier and statesman whose name
is dear to all who believe in the history and destiny of the United States of
America. We will now give our attention to prayer by the Rev. James J. Dunlop,
D. D., Pastor of the Fourth Congregational Church, Hartford.
Prayer : — Almighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, from
whom proceeds all power and dominion in Heaven and on earth, most heartily
do we praise and thank Thee for the precious memories which we treasure
as a people. We see Thy kind hand in the establishment of this nation.
Thou hast raised up for us great men to be our leaders in every crisis in our
history. Thou hast never failed us, but ever befriended us.
For this raan, to whose memory we place this tablet on these walls
today, we give Thee our most hearty thanks. We praise Thee for the \ictory
which his genius achieved; for the national greatness which this \ictory
secured. In greatful remembrance we place this tablet in the halls of all the
people. We pray that this tablet may be something more than a mere token
of appreciation; something more than a mere tribute to human greatness
and genius. May it ever be a memorial that shall serve to awaken memories
that shall ever enrich and inspire.
Upon this organization — the Sons of Veterans — which places this
tablet on these walls, we ask Thy favor abundantly. Bless this organization
in its useful ministry of inculcating the principles of patriotism, of perpetu
ating to posterity those principles for which their fathers fought and died.
Hear now Thy servant who shall speak to us, that he shall raake our hearts
aglow with new devotion to Thee our God, and our country. Most earnestly
do we beseech Thy favor on the President of these United States, the Governor
of this State, and upon all in authority. Embue them, we pray Thee, with
kindness and grace and truth. Throw over their hearts the mantel of Thy
love so that the law and rule of peace and justice raay prevail araong us.
And grant, we beseech Thee, to preserve us frora all public calaraity, from
war and rebellion, from pestilence and especially from national sins and
national corruption. So give us Thy grace and power that we shall be strong
and great in the fear of God and the love of righteousness, so that we raay be a
blessing to all nations on the earth to the glory of Thy great name, through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Araen.

Commander Alcorn: — It now gives me pleasure to present Charles
H. Bissell, the man through whose efforts this tablet has been secured. He
has worked long and faithfully to make it possible for the Connecticut Di
vision, Sons of Veterans, to place this tablet in this house.
Mr. Bissell: — Commander Alcorn, your Excellency Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wilson, Comrades of the Grand Array of the Republic, brothers of the
Sons of Veterans, and friends: It is my privilege this afternoon to speak
for a few moments as the representative of the 2300 organized Sons
of Veterans of the State of Connecticut. Our order is made up of the
sons and grandsons of the men who served in the Union Array or Navy in
the Civil War of 1861-1865. We are, therefore, interested to see that the
men and woraen of the present generation should know and appreciate the
part our State took in that great struggle. We are proud, and we have a
right to be proud of the patriotic record of Connecticut. In the War for
Independence from 1775-1783, she did her full share, and later, when the
life of the nation was at stake, the full quota of men called for were in the
Connecticut regiments. These are facts of record and are largely known.
There is one other fact in this connection, however, not so well known and
of which we hope to secure greater recognition by the placing of this tablet.
When the thirteen colonies formed the Union, known as the United States
of America, they occupied only a narrow strip along the Atlantic sea coast.
To the West, was a great and largely unexplored country, a land of moun
tains filled with coal and metals, of great rivers and seemingly boundless
plains, having a soil of unexampled fertility. So it is no wonder that in the
years from 1800 to 1860 many of the strongest and most enterprising sons
of Connecticut were among the men who explored and settled these new
regions. When the crisis came in 1861 and President Lincoln called for
troops, these men, the sons and grandsons of our State flocked in answer.
Their names are not on the rolls of Connecticut regiraents, but they were
men of Connecticut blood and we have a right to an interest in their achieve
ments. Today we pay honor to the raeraory of n grandson of our State —
the man under whose leadership the war for the preservation of .the Union
was brought to a successful conclusion, and through him as the representa
tive of thera all, would also pay a tribute to the thousands of men of Con
necticut lineage who from their homes in the great West answered their Coun-
try's call.
Your Excellency, on behalf of the Sons of Veterans of Connecticut, I
now present to you, as the representative of our State, this tablet with the
hope that so long as this building shall endure the tablet also raay remain
as a perpetual reminder to all comers of the special pride every citizen of
Connec1i(-ut may take in the hero of Fort Donaldson, of Vicksburg, of Chat
tanooga and Appomattox, the hero of Mt. McGregor, Ulysses Sirapson Grant.
Following the presentation by Mr. Bissell the. tablet was unveiled by
Miss Faith Grant, a daughter of Past Commander-in-Chief Ralph M. Grant,
and a direct descendant from Matthew Grant, the first settler of the name
ill, Windsor.

Lieutenant Governor Wilson: — Mr. Chairman, members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, fellow members of the Sons of Veterans, ladies
and gentlemen: We do well to pause in the raidst of our busy everyday
life to pay due horaage to the splendid deeds of heroism and patriotisra
perforraed by loyal men from whatever state they may come. Connecticut
is particularly rich in deeds of heroism and achie\'eraent in the days of the
early formation and the days of the preservation of this great and glorious
country. It has well been said that from 1775-1783, Connecticut contributed
in no small numbers and in no sraall manner to the success of this country
in the early days of its history. And, later, when the integrity of this coun
try was in question, when the lives of its citizens were imperiled and the God
gi\'en right of this country to exist was threatened, Connecticut has ever
responded in liberal numbers to the protection to American Uves and to the
advancement of Araerican liberty and the achievement of Araerican manhood.
And we are here today commemorating the splendid deeds of one of the
splendid sons of Connecticut — Connecticut, the horae of the written con
stitution, araong whose hills and dales the spirit of true constitutional free
dora first had its breath of life, and after whose raodel the written Consti
tutions of this great country, and our sister states were forraed. We do well
to commemorate at this tirae the events in connection with that great and
national figure, Ulysses S. Grant. It is a peculiar pleasure to rae to be here
today to accept this tablet commemorative, as I say, of the achieveraents
of one of Connecticut blood, and assuring as it does in his achievement and
accomplishments, the perpetuation of this Union and inspiring the labors
of those with whom we shall come into contact, until, indeed, our country
wiU be recognized as the leader, as the director of all that tends to human
freedom and the advancement of raankind. It is a peculiar situation — a
peculiar position that this country has created for itself in these brief 150
or fewer years. Just as truly as the raen in the early days, and the days of
fifty years ago, gave themselves unsparingly to the creation and perpetua
tion of this nation, so we, today, while we commemorate the splendid deeds
of the past, should be ever ready and willing to give ourselves unsparingly
whole souled and unflinchingly for the protection, for the preservation of this
Union and for the advancement of human hberty and human freedom through
out the world. It is a great pleasure — and particularly so as a Son of Veteran
— for I do beheve that next to actual service in time of trouble or in time
of peace — a good, whole souled ser\ice — next to that is the splendid herit
age which we Sons of Veterans are glad to recognize and proud to claim as
our own. As acting Chief Executive of the State, it gives rae pleasure at this time
to accept on behalf of and in the name of the State of Connecticut this splen
did testimonial, this .splendid memorial of I he loyalty and fidelity of the Sons
of Veterans from whom it comes, commeraorating, as it does, the achievements
of one of Connecticut's most noble, most able descendants.
Commander Alcorn: — I now have pleasure in introducing to you the
Rev. Rockwell Harmon Potter, D. D., pastor of the Center Congregational
Chun^li, who has consented to address this audience today.

Dn. Potter: — We are gathered here to place this tablet upon these
walls of the State House of Connecticul, to corameraorate one who was a
grandson of this Conraionwealth. His grandfather, Noah Grant, was born
in Tolland of this state. He was something raore than just a grandson of
Connecticut, for preceding Noah Grant, who was born in Tolland, not less
than five successive generations of Grants, beginning with Matthew Grant,
who came frora England to Dorchester and then to Windsor in this state,
lived and loved and wrought and died on the soil of Connecticut. And when
Noah Grant, after the Revolution (in which he served as a soldier) went out
to the western country frora New England, it was into the Western Reserve
that he went. Now the Western Reserve which has come to be the State of
Ohio, is indeed the daughter of Connecticut, so that the grandson, Ulysses
S. Grant, was born in Ohio, the daughter of Connecticut. The ties which
bind us to the raeraories of Ulysses S. Grant and the proud heritage of that
memory, are not few but many, and it is worthy that you gentlemen of the
Sons of Veterans, by your wise counsel, now place on the walls of the State
House of Connecticut, this tablet in his raeraory.
If I may undertake very briefly to interpret the meaning of this tablet
and to answer the question, "what should be remembered of Ulysses S.
Grant?" 1 shall be but seeking to interpret the thoughts that are in the hearts
of us all, but this is not a question to answer which anyone hesitates. It is
rather a question the answer to which is in the minds and hearts of us all
and whii^h it becomes my privilege to seek to voice.
We remember Ulysses S. Grant because he was a great soldier. The
story of his life as a soldier is a romance. No one can read that story from
the day when his father, Jesse Grant, down on the banks of the Ohio River,
told him he proposed that he should becorae a cadet until at Apporaattox
he received the surrender of the Confederacy — no one can read that story
of the soldier's life without being thrilled as by a romance. For Ulysses S.
Grant went to West Point an unwilling cadet, and it was as an unwilling
graduate that he went from there in 1843 at the age of 21 years. He never
chose the vocation of a soldier. It was neither to his mind nor liking. He
went to West Point because he would obey his father's wish. He served
as a soldier because he would obey the coraraand of his officers and because,
at last, he would obey the high comraand of the people's wish and the su
preme mandate of a nation's welfare.
That story of his hfe as a soldier is strangely mixed with light and shadow.
When a young raan, shortly after his graduation, he went with the array
into Mexico, again unwilling and feeling that he was engaging in an un
righteous war; unwilling, but loyal to his flag and the raen placed over him,
he achieved a brilliant career, and not the least among the influences that
raade hira the suprerae American Soldier was the close friendships he formed
in the young army of the forties. It was these close friendships and this
ardent loyalty that lasted through twenty years, and after twenty years led
him to be a brave soldier, a soldier whose heart was never greater than in
the moment of his supreme victory.

The story of the years intervening between the Mexican War and the
Civil War is a pathetic story. The* jealousies which grew up so fast among
mihtary men Grant had around him. He, himself, was engaged in a fight
that took aU of the courage of his personal character and deeply shaded
are those years which began so brightly at the end of the Mexican War and
closed in 1860, when we find him in his brother's leather store at Galena
Illinois. If Grant's career had closed then, it would ha\e been one of raarked
pathos. The next four years write a different page in that story. What
happened from '61, when he wrote to the Governor of his State and in his
modest, sturdy way, off'ered his services to his country, until that April day
in 1865, when from the proud hands of the Confederate Comraander, he re
ceived the surrender: what happened through those four years is part of
the treasured heritage of the Nation.
There is not the time, although this would be a worthy place, to tell
the story of Grant's career as a soldier. The rapid rise of this man frora the
ranks of the Array as he progressed frora Donaldson to Shiloh, to Chattanooga
and \\ashington, from Washington to Apporaattox and Richmond; this is
the story that this country cherishes among its brightest pages; a
story that has been read around the whole world and has written hira down
as the greatest soldier in that hour of deepest need and one of the greatest
soldiers of all nations of all tiraes.
We place this tablet because we would remember Grant as a soldier
and the brightest moment in the story of this soldier's life was the last mo
ment of it; the last moment, when at Apporaattox he received the surrender
of the Confederacy with the surrender of Lee.
Can any man remain unmoved who reads the story of the life of this
soldier and remembers his friendship with the men with whom he fought
during those four years, remembers the terrible stress of those fateful years
the winds of en\y, suspicion and hatred that blew around hira, and the
modest and sustained courage with which he faced them all and the per
sistence with which he carried out his task.'' Can anyone read that story
and be unmoved as he coraes to the record of the "Surrender;" as he N'isual-
izes that scene, and beholds the agony of the lost cause in the face of hira
who gave up his sword and renienibers that day twenty years before when
these two men met with the armies in Mexico, and the comradeship and
friendship of those other years? As Grant saw this man with his stained
uniforni and his hands reached out to make terms of surrender for that great
army of the South, and lifted his eyes to see the sword that he proferred,
he wrote the provision that the officers of the Confederate Army should re
tain their side arms. As he lifted his eyes again to see the officers of the
Southern Array with their horses in the background, he wrote in a pro^ision
that the men should be free to lake their horses back with them to work upon
their farms.
Looking into the eyes of Lee again with his words "unconditional sur
render" on his mind, he turned again to thosc terms of surrender and, reach
ing out to exercise c\ccuti\e power, wrote down aranesty to every man in
the Southern Army who should return to his home and live in accordance
with the laws of the stale.

The meraory of that hour and those words outshine the words "un
conditional surrender," and "1 propose to raove immediately on your works.''
The terms which he made for Lee's Army, wrote down Grant as a soldier
supreme, because those were terms in which he dared venture beyond the
technical coraraission of a soldier and show himself a generous man.
Abraham Lincoln magnanimously accepted that executive order. Tliese
acts together constitute the most sublime page in the miUtary story of the
Great Rebellion.
We place this tablet here because we would remember Grant as a sol-
di( r, great in the clemency of his victory.
We are placing this tablet — we are accepting this tablet which you
have placed here — because we would remeraber Grant as President. He
did not seek the office of Chief Magistrate of this country. He never sought
any office or any position. When he offered himself to his country, he offered
his servicers. He did not seek an office.
There is an interesting word which I have written down here, an inter
esting word which he wrote: "Everyone has a superstition. One of raine is
that in a position of great responsibility everyone should do his duty. What
ever the influences, he should not change his position." No man can say
that Ulysses S. Grant was ever false to his own declaration, and what he
considered his superstition. We recognize it as one mighty principle of
his noble accomplishments.
Placed in the chair of President, who of us can imagine (save you men
who remember) the storms that swirled around him. The country was mad
with its new and mighty opportunities. Men were mad with the lust for
office and greed for gain, for gold and power. But in the midst of that storm,
while it was beyond his power absolutely to cause the winds to become calm,
he held himself steady. Any one who reads the story of those eight years
in which he served the country as President will learn that through all those
years he kept true to the principles he laid down for himself. So far as it
was possible for any man in that position at that time to do so. Grant did so.
The result of the reading of this story is the conviction that the dorainant,
deepest and highest ambition of Ulysses S. Grant, as President, was to ful
fill and carry out by executive action that noble spirit of forgiveness and
amnesty which was his when he dictated the terms of surrender to Lee.
That was his supreme service as President of the United States, and what
ever storms were about him, they came from the lives and deeds of other men.
His own soul was unsullied and his own purpose was clean as President of
the United States.
This tablet is here because we would remeraber Grant as President.
Gentleraen, this tablet is here because we would remember Grant as a
statesman. It was given to Ulysses S. Grant, after he had retired as Presi
dent, to raake a circuit of the world. No other American has ever done so
under such auspices ; has ever been admitted to the courts of so many people,
has ever been shown so deep a mark of attention and honor by the nations
of the earth. No other American in the story of the Country's History has
ever had the opportunity to come so close to so many of the world's rulers
as he did in the tour he made immediately succeeding his retireraent from the
presidency.

It is the iini\ ersal testimony of those who met him on that tour, rainis
ters and governors, the crowned heads of Europe as weU as Oriental poten
tates, that through it all the simple minded, honest hearted man bore himself
with raodesty and dignity and with a certain charm and strength that won
the hearts of the old world. If such a raan as Matthew Arnold was forced
to testify when he read his Meraoirs, years later, that while Grant soraetiraes
indulged in boasting, he was forced to confess that this American in spite
of what he had personally achie\ed. in spite of the honors which had been
thrust upon him, never boasted of hiraself, but if he spoke in words that
seeraed boastful to English ears, they were words born of his love for his
country, and only when he spoke for his country did such excess of feeling
fall frora his lips.
We reraeraber hira because of this journey around the world which had
a profound influence on his heart and mind. The judgments he made and
expressed when he had finished this journey bear witness to the truth that
this man was coraing into the international mind. It is raost interesting to
observe that after these long years, when he looked back on his service in
Mexico, he looked back with profound regret. It is significant that this man
who won his distinction as a soldier in Mexico, that this man who becarae
supreme coramander of the War of the Great RebeUion, should have written
it down as his determined judgment that in large measure the War of the
RebelUon came upon this country because of injustice and aggression in
the war in Mexico. "Nations receive punishment, as well as raen," said
this soldier, said this statesman of international mind. "It was years delayed
but we received it, and most sanguinary punishment it was."
Speaking in England he said: "Your cause is on my heart. I am a
soldier but ray deepest desire has been for peace."
Speaking again, I think in England, certainly in the same \ein in which
he had made other speeches, he said (and perhaps it is the most significant
word he ever said):
"Though I have been trained as a soldier and have participated in many
battles, there ne\ er was a time, in my opinion, that sorae way could not
have been found to prevent the drawing of swords. I look forward to a court
recognized by all nations to settle international differences, instead of keep
ing large standing armies as they do in Europe.'
Listen again to another word spoken by this soldier — this statesman
who had eorae into the international mind:
"I would gladly see the men in the armies now supported by the in
dustries of the nations, return to industrial pursuits to become self-sustain
ing and take off the tax on labor which is le\ ied for their support."
We remember this man because he was a soldier, but more than a sol
dier, because he was president, but more than president, because he was a
statesman and was able to achieve the international mind.
We place this tablet here because we would reraeraber Grant as a raan.
He was great as a soldier; he was great as a president; he was great as a
statesman. I venture to think he was greater as a man. Read the biogra
phies of the great men in history. ^^ e find no more tender, filial devotion
than Ulysses S. Grant gave to his mother, Anna. Beautiful and tender were
the words that as cadet at West Point he wrote back to his mother — the
only person in all the world that understood how hard it was for him lo be-

^ ¦;
come a soldier — the only person to whora he could unburden his heart.
Down through the years until his death bed, when he received baptism into
his mother's faith, it was his mother's faith that lay on his simple soul. Read
the biographies of all the great men of history and no where will you find
more chivalrous devotion to the love of wife than this soldier gave to Julia
Dent, his wife. From the day when a United States officer at St. Louis, he
first looked into her eyes until at Mt. MacGregor he gained strength from
those eyes to fight his last battle, this man was loyal to his wife. No man
around his council board or camp fire passed a foul jest or coarse word, for
this man was loyal to the wife of his heart. His heart was pure with love.
Sometimes he put himself in a position that later on embarrassed him
because he would please her. She could not see as far as he (»uld see, and
yet he would not cross her way, he loved her so. Shall we not gladly forgive
a man who makes a mistake for the sake of love? He was a loyal and de
voted husband. He was clean-minded and pure of speech. Profanity came
not upon his lips and coarseness was not found in his heart. He was a soldier
of the spirit as well as a soldier of the nation, and when 1 think over the na
tion's story, I cannot find any more appealing or commanding figure than the
figure of this man — soldier, president, statesman. When in the last years
the storms of chance and change and circumstance, of spite and the jeal
ousies of little-minded and little-souled people, of the greed and avarice of
men who would use his character and high mindedness to promote their own
aims, smote upon him, he stood like some naked rock in the raidst of the sea,
with the biUows clashing upon it. He stood alone and off'ered up all he had
of the savings of years which he had provided for his children — the gifts
of nations and devoted friends, in order that his hands might be clean and
testify that his heart was right.
When I consider Mt. MacGregor and think of this man bereft of power
of speech, suffering from intense bodily pain, with feeble and trembling
hands striving to earn means with which to redeem obligations not of his
contracting, he seems to me like some figure of Greek tragedy, sublime in the
midst of ruin, a man over whom storms broke, but whose soul stood impreg
nable at the last.
So we would remember him at rest on the banks of the Hudson in the
great Metropolis where his body was carried to its resting place. We remem
ber that there are written on the face of that tomb that looks out towards
the land over which he took conquering armies, these words of the soldier
and president, and statesman: "Let us have peace."
