Contents General Grant is doomed -- It is all over -- Mother takes Riverside -- A colossal and memorable demonstration -- A sacred duty -- An American pantheon -- The humiliating spectacle -- Let us have peace -- Long-range good hands -- We have fights here too -- If the old guy were alive, he might have enjoyed it.
Summary "... [N]arrates the national response to Grant's passing and how his tomb came to be: the intense competition to be the resting place for Grant's remains, the origins of the memorial and its design, the struggle to finance and build it over the course of twelve years, and the vicissitudes of its afterlife in the history of the nation up to recent times." -- From inside jacket flap.
