The name of “U. S. Grant, Nashville,” on the Lindell Hotel
(St. Louis) register was sufficient to spread the news of his
presence with almost the rapidity of wildfire throughout the
city. The Lindell lobby was soon thronged with people eager to
catch a glimpse of the little man who had won the battle of
Chattanooga. The streets which he paced in vain, time and again,
only five years before in search of employment, now resounded
with cheers in his honor.--NICHOLAS SMITH, “Grant, the
Man of Mystery.”
