Chinese Admiral's wreath for Grant's Tomb (LOC)

  • aware health said:
    I suppose the Chinese admiral is returning a courtesy. Grant visited China in 1879 as a former President, and the Chinese took it as quite an honor; he was warmly received.

    As if seeing Grant's tomb were not excitement enough, the Admiral also enjoyed a luncheon with Grant's son, General Frederick Dent Grant, at his HQ on Governor's Island. [He also climbed a New York skyscraper still under construction, and attended a theatrical performance.] New York Times story, September 23, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9C07E...
