Grant, who as the baby of the General’s family journeyed over much of the South during the Civil War with his parents, is dead at his home in Los Altos. A civil and mining engineer, grant spent many years in free lance mining activities in the United States and Mexico. His boyhood was spent in Washington following the Civil War and during his father’s occupancy of the White House. In 1924 Jesse retired and came to Los Altos. From his childhood association with his father, Grant retained the deepest impressions of the General and expressed them in a volume, “In the Days of My Father, General Grant,” published in 1925. In 1908 Grant made a speaking tour in the South and West and upon his return to New York announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President in opposition to the late William Jennings Bryan.
