- catalog abstract ""This biography of Horace Porter emphasizes only the span of his adult career -- a little more than six decades. But what a formative time it was! From West Point through the Civil War through the Spanish-American War through World War I. Porter was an able and devoted aid to Ulysses S. Grant during Union military triumphs, during Grant's postwar presidency, through Grant's failing health and death, to the financing and dedication of Grant's tomb in New York. From Continentalism to Imperialism to world power. From bucolic agriculture and westward movement through the great era of railroad construction to world leadership in industry and finance. All that in six decades"--Preface.".
