The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant v. 29; October 1, 1878-September 30, 1880

By late 1878, after a year and a half abroad, Ulysses S Grant had visited every country in Europe, and he was homesick. He decided to return through Asia. After ""a delightful run"" to Dublin and northern Ireland, he left Paris with his wife Julia, son Frederick, and a few friends in January, 1879.
