Volume 7, part 1" compiled by James D. Richardson is a historical collection copyrighted in 1897. This volume presents the official proclamations, messages, and speeches of President Ulysses S. Grant during his two terms from March 1869 to March 1877. Part of an eleven-volume series documenting American presidential communications from 1787 to 1902, it preserves the executive voice during the critical Reconstruction era. The compilation itself became central to a political controversy over copyrighting public documents, ultimately shaping federal copyright law. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
