Colonel AB Steinberger: Agent to the President of the United States
under President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant
In 1878, Samoan High Councilmen at Mulinuu wrote a letter to the United States President Ulysses S. Grant thanking him for his outstanding leadership roles he played in securing relations with Eastern Samoa and supporting peace in the Western Samoan regions. The letter also says that Eastern Samoa is in reform, establishing a more united Government and working with their friend Colonel A.B. Steinberger who works directly for the President of the United States.
Samoan Historian "The Letter even gives President Grant credit for helping breathe life into Samoa, and thanking him for his wise and loving leadership in the United States."
