HE conductors of THE CENTURY are able of this series of papers, which they believe will rank with the most notable ever presented to the readers of the magazine. General Porter's important work, which has been in preparation for a number of years, will afford an invaluable supplement to General Grant's "Memoirs," inasmuch as it will present a complete picture of Grant as a man and a soldier by one who stood in the most intimate relations with him. In 1863, at Chattanooga, General Porter first met General Grant; the following Spring he became a member of Grant's staff, and was with him constantly from that time until the close of the war. Afterward he served as private secretary to President Grant during his first term. From his first meeting with General Grant, General Porter made a practice of jotting down in his diary impressions of the important events then crystallizing into history. He also made full notes of his conversations with his chief. These form the basis of the present memoirs. General Porter's work gives a dignified portrayal of General Grant as a soldier and a man, and a series of vivid pen-pictures of campaign life and scenes, enlivened with anecdote and with flashes of characteristic humor. The nature of the work is revealed in the headings of the first paper, which will appear in the November CENTURY: MY FIRST MEETING WITH GRANT. HIS MANNER OF WRITING DESPATCHES. 66 GRANT SALUTED BY THE ENEMY. A HIGHER GRADE CREATED FOR GRANT. IN COMMAND OF ALL THE ARMIES. AN INTERVIEW WITH STANTON. From these headings it will be seen that while in a general sense the articles will form a series, each paper will deal with a dramatic event in General Grant's life, and will have a distinct anecdotal and personal interest complete in itself. 444444444 THE CENTURY CO-UNION SQUARE NEW YORK |
