Grant, former general-in-chief and two-term president of the United States, stepped ashore at Galveston and began what turned out to be a seven-day whirlwind visit to Texas. Because of his past accomplishments, and the chance that he might be nominated to serve an unprecedented third presidential term, Grant was the most famous and eagerly awaited celebrity ever to visit the Lone Star State. The general visited Galveston, San Antonio, and Houston, where he was greeted by thousands of cheering Texans. Grant's visit to Texas was the subject of extensive coverage in newspapers across the nation, providing a unique time capsule for modern readers. This book tells the story of Grant's busy week in Texas and includes a tour guide that will allow readers to literally retrace the general's footsteps to the sites of many historic buildings that still exist today"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFred Rider Cotten Popular History Series 606 $aTravel$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01155558 606 $aHistoric buildings$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00957723 606 $aHistoric buildings$zTexas$zGalveston$vTours 606 $aHistoric buildings$zTexas$zSan Antonio$vTours 606 $aHistoric buildings$zTexas$zHouston$vTours 607 $aTexas$zSan Antonio$2fast 607 $aTexas$zHouston$2fast 607 $aTexas$zGalveston$2fast 607 $aTexas$2fast 607 $aTexas$xDescription and travel 608 $aTours. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTravel. 615 0$aHistoric buildings. 615 0$aHistoric buildings 615 0$aHistoric buildings 615 0$aHistoric buildings 676 $a917.6404 700 $aCotham$b Edward T$g(Edward Terrel),$f1953-$01486031 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794790403321 996 $aA Busy Week in Texas$93705388 997 $aUNINA
