Mr. Young, although a warm political adherent and a personal admirer, had hardly before this been intimate with Grant; but during this winter he became one of his closest companions and most valued friends. He went to the East with General Grant in 1878, and wrote an account of the journey, based upon his correspondence with the New York Herald on the way.
