Boston Seating Chart For A Dinner Given For U.S. Grant. "Complimentary Dinner to Gen. U.S. Grant by the Middlesex Club at the Brunswick, Boston, Oct. 13, 1880." 11 x 17 in., Very Fine. The printed chart details all of the attendees and their seating positions. An interesting Grant item. Grant had returned from three triumphant years of touring abroad in December 1879 and hoped to win the 1880 Republican nomination for President. The June convention ended in a deadlock between Grant and James G. Blaine, and James Garfield was selected as a dark-horse candidate.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
