THE RIVERSIDE SOUVENIR. 
 
 On the eighth day of August, i885, forty thousand men united in a procession to escort to its burial place the body of General 
 Ulysses S. Grant, while a million spectators looked on at the solemn and unparalleled obsequies. New York was thronged as never 
 before. It was a Nation's tribute to the honored dead. The highest officials of the country and of the several States; the accredited 
 representatives of foreign governments : the dignitaries of the Church and the Bench ; selected organizations of the Army and Navy ; 
 the National Guard of New York and other States ; thousands upon thousands of the veterans comprising the Grand Army of the 
 Republic ; the Senior Major-General of the United States Army in command of the whole : — these were but notable additions to 
 what was, after all, most remarkable as the gathering of mighty hosts of Cilizcus of Ihe Umtcil Slates to pay their last respects 
 to the great Captain to whom the country owed so much. 
 
 It was a colossal and memorable demonstration, and it is fitting that the record of its magnitude and special features be 
 preserved in a more enduring form than in the columns of the press of the day. Through all the years of those who participated 
 in or witnessed it, it will be remembered as one of the chief events of tlieir lives, and by them the artistic souvenir contained within 
 these covers will be handed down to their descendants with a feeling of personal pride and proprietorship. The great multitude of 
 the American people who were unable to witness the pageant, and the inhabitants of foreign lands to whom the name of Grant is 
 as familiar as those of their own rulers, will find here the best substitute for actual sight of a cortege which has never been equalled 
 in America and rarely in the world. The historian will value this work, inasmuch as the views are photographically accurate 
 representations of the features of the parade which they represent. Instantaneous photographs were taken from a given point as 
 the several regiments or other important elements of the procession passed into range, and these views have been (aithfully trans- 
 ferred to stone for reproduction upon these pages.

The route of the procession from the City Hall was through Broadway, Fourteentli Street, Fifth Avenue, Fifty-Seventh Street, 
 the Boulevard, Seventy-Second Street and the Riverside Drive, a total distance of about seven miles. Through all the streets 
 affording a view of the scene, sidewalks, balconies, windows, roofs, were crowded with the multitudes who waited in place from 
 early morning to mid-afternoon. Emblems of mourning were universal throughout the City and especially noticeable along the line 
 of march. Major-General Winfield Scott Hancock, under especial orders from the President of the United States, assumed command 
 of the column, and among the pall-bearers were distinguished leaders of the army against which the Hero had fought, side by 
 side with his trusted lieutenants and companions in arms. The North and the South clasped hands at the grave of Grant. 
 
 Reference has been made to the presence of distinguished men. President Grover Cleveland was accompanied by Vice- 
 President Hendricks and the following members of the Cabinet: Bayard, Secretary of State; Manning, Secretary of the Treasury; 
 Endicott, Secretary of War ; Whitney, Secretary of the Navy ; Lamar, Secretary of the Interior ; Garland. Attorney-General ; and Vilas, 
 Postmaster-General. The pall-bearers were Gen. William T. Sherman, United States Army ; Lieut. -Gen. Phillip H. Sheridan, United 
 States Army ; Admiral David D. Porter, United States Navy ; Vice-Admiral Stephen C. Rowan, United States Navy ; Gen. Joseph E. 
 Johnston, of Virginia ; Gen. Simon B. Buckner. of Kentucky ; Joseph W. Drexel, of New York ; Hon. George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts ; 
 George W. Childs, of Pennsylvania ; Hon. John A. Logan, of Illinois ; George Jones, of New York ; and Oliver Hoyt, of New York. The 
 Church was represented by Bishop Harris, Methodist Episcopal ; Assistant Bishop -Henry C. Potter, Protestant Episcopal ; the Rev. Dr. 
 Chambers, Reformed ; the Rev. Dr. Field, Presbyterian ; the Rev. Dr. Bridgman, Baptist ; the Rev. Dr. West, Congregational ; the Rev. 
 Father Deshon, Roman Catholic ; the Rev. Robert Collyer, Unitarian ; and Rabbi Browne, Hebrew. Ex-Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes 
 and Chester A. Arthur occupied one of the carriages, and the following Governors, with their staffs, were in the procession : Stokely, of 
 Delaware ; Pattison, of Pennsylvania ; Abbett, of New Jersey ; Harrison, of Connecticut ; Robinson, of Massachusetts ; Currier, of New 
 Hampshire ; Wetmore, of Rhode Island ; Pingree, of Vermont ; Oglesby, of Illinois ; Stoneman, of California (represented by State Senator 
 Taylor) ; Robie, of Maine ; Alger, of Michigan ; Sherman, of Iowa ; Rusk, of Wisconsin ; Hubbard, of Minnesota ; and Eaton, of Colorado. 
 
 A detailed description, of the order of the procession will be found in the Appendix at the end of this book. 
 
 General Grant died at Mount McGregor, near Saratoga, July 23d; the remains were conveyed to New York on August 
 5th, and lay in state in the City Hall until the 8th, when they were laid in the selected burial place in Riverside Park, where 
 ground had been set aside for the purpose by the City Authorities. Preference for New York City as a place for his interment had

been expressed by General Grant before his death ; the special spot was selected by conference with the family after his decease, 
 and all question as to the permanency of this resting place is settled (if there were any doubt before,) by the following correspondence 
 between the Mayor of the City and Mrs. Grant : 
 
 October i6, 1885. 
 
 My Dear Mrs. Grant : The Executive Committee of the Grant Monument Association, to whom was intrusted the honored and patriotic task of collecting funds 
 for a suitable national memorial to the memory of your distinguished husband, finds itself seriously hampered in its work, and to a great extent embarrassed, by utterances 
 which appear from time to time in the daily press, and often purporting to come from your family. Our Executive Committee is muth concerned in the reports quite 
 industriously spread abroad and persistently reiterated, that on the reassembling of Congress a preconcerted effort, with the consent and approval of your family, would be 
 begun to have the body of General Grant removed to Washington for final sepulture. Our fund has already reached a generous sum — nearly $90,000 — it will be $100,000 
 soon ; but it must be obvious that any doubt which the public may have as to the desire of the family in regard to the Riverside Park as a permanent tomb and the site 
 of the proposed national memorial acts as a deterrent to those who would otherwise freely give. 
 
 May I ask from your family a clear and emphatic expression of your wish and preference — may I add, determination — for the use of our Executive Committee.^ 
 
 Ven,- respectfully, 
 
 W. R. GRACE. 
 Vice-President (jrant Monument Association. 
 
 New York, Oct. 29, 1885. 
 
 Dear Sir : Your letter of the 16th came during my absence, and was received on my return from Long Branch. 
 Riverside was selected by wisiZ/ and mv family as the burial place of my husband, Gen. Grant. 
 First — Because I believed New York was ht\ preference. 
 
 Second— X'i is near the residence that I hope to occupy as long as I live, and where I will be able to visit his resting place often. 
 
 Third— \ have bulievevl. and am now convinced, that the tomb will be visited by as many of his countrymen here as it would be at any other place. 
 Fourth — The oR"er of a park in New York was the first which observed and unreservedly assented to the only condition imposed by Gen. r.rant himself namely, that I 
 should have a place by his side. 
 
 I am. Sir, very sincerely. 
 
 JULIA D. GRANT. 
 
 To WiLi-iAM R. Grack, Mayor, City of New York. 
 
 Riverside Park will, through all time to come, be the site of General Grant's tomb, and the monument to be erected to mark 
 the spot should be worthy of the man whom it commemorates.
