General Badeau was born In this city
on December 20, 1881. He was educated
at boarding school in one of the Hud-
son river towns and received private
| instruction. After the war had broken
out he volunteered in the Federal army,
| His first appointment was as aide on
| the staff of Brigadier General Thomas
| W. Sherman. He served with Sherman
in Louisiana until May, 1868.
On the 9th Of that month he was
wounded severely. With his COM
mander he was leading an assault on
| the works Of the enemy at Port Hud-
| SON.
He was appointed military secretary
| to General Grant in the month of
March, 1864, with the rank of lieuten-
ane colonel. He was afterward pro-
noted to the rank of colonel. While
] - he xuit1
Grant through the campaigns in the
wilderness and at Appomattox.
| He remained on the staff of General
Grant until 1869. In that year he re-
tired from the army with the brevet
rank of brigadier general in the regular
army. In the volunteer service he re-
ceived a similar brevet.
During the seven months running
| from May to December 1869, he occu-
pied the post Of secretary Of the Ameri-
can legation in London. In 1870 he car
ried government dispatches to Madrid

turned to London as consul general

| TENDER, 1881.
1t was during that time, in 1877 and
1878, that he accompanied General
Grant around the world From May
1882, to April 1884, General Badeau was
| consul general at Havana. While act
ing in that capacity he accused the
| state department of corruption in its
administration, and resigned the Of
fee held by him at that time, because
the government would not permit him
to substantiate the charges which he
| had made.
Two appointments, one as United
| States minister to Belgium in 1876 ana
the other as United States minister to
Denmark In 1881, were declined by him
| OF the books which he published, the
most widely read were THE Vaga~
bonds" a collection of essays; military
History of Ulysses S. Grant" Con
spiracy a Cuban Romance" "Aris-
| tocracy in England" and Grant in
Peace"
1t was that last book and the one
which General Grant wrote as his me
moirs which subsequently caused the
friction between General Badeau and
the Grant family.
In his version of the difficulty between
the Grant family and himself General
Badeau said; General Grant told me
that he had been requested to write his
