He has com manded a brigade, and now commands one, and naturally should be commissioned as a brigadier. In recommending his promotion in March, 1863, General Grant said, His ad vancement has been won upon the field of battle and in camp in disciplining his men. Promotion on Colonel Smith would be most worthily bestowed, and would not fall on one with whom the question would become, What will you do with him? " Yet later, in writing to General Smith s mother after her son s promotion, General Gr...ant said, I congratu late you upon his promotion, you will believe me when I say sincerely ; because it was upon my recommendation that he has been promoted. I do not know that Colonel Smith was aware of my having recommended him. At all events I did not tell him so. And General Grant added that he was * sincerely the friend of General Smith, with whom he had now become intimately acquainted, and acquaintance with him only ripens into friendship. " The later years of General Smith s life were passed in the quiet of a home life, in marked contrast with the stirring scenes in which he bore so prominent a part in the days of his military service.
