After Grant got fairly well started in his studies, the best
he could say for himself is in this characteristic sentence
to his father: “I don’t expect to make very fast progress,
but I will try to hold on to what I get.” Here was somewhat a
foreshadowing of the bulldog tenacity which afterward made him
so famous.--NICHOLAS SMITH, “Grant, the Man of Mystery.”
