Title: My life here and there
Description: “These reminiscences begin with the author’s childhood recollections of her grandfather, U. S. Grant, cover an interesting career among American and European celebrities, especially the latter, and end just before the beginning of the Great war. Her life in Russia, at the court of the Czar and among high officials, is minutely described with many allusions to court gossip and intrigue.”
“Probably no more entertaining reminiscences have been written in recent years by a native American woman than these. The charm of the narrative is great; and this is probably due to the fact that in all the subjects the author treats, from the last days of General Grant to the last court function at St Petersburg she is so thoroughly and simply American.”
