He says in his memoirs that after Vieksbm-g he had a presentment that he was to brirg the war to a successful endand become the head of the nation.

He was a descendant ofMatthew Grant, one of the settlers of Windsor, Connecticut, in 1635, and a man of much importance in the infant colony. His Ameri-can ancestors were fighting stock. His great-grandfather, Noah Grant, held a military commission in the French and Indian War, and his grandfather, also named Noah, fought in the Revolution. Henry Ward Beeeher summed up the causes of Grants meteoricrise from store clerk in 1861, to president in 1869, as follows: Grant was available and lucky. His dominant trait was determination.
