Close-up of the heavily weathered front door of Ulysses S. Grant’s historic home in Galena, Illinois. A tarnished oval nameplate reading “U.S. Grant” is centered on the door, flanked by glass panes above and raised panel molding below.

The front door of Grant’s home in Galena, IL, the Italianate house the town gave him when he came back from the war in 1865.

Fog at the Surrender House in Dover, Tennessee, on the anniversary of the surrender. I could imagine Forrest's scoundrels passing through the fog below us, unseen but heard.
Bonus Fogbow.

Ulysses S Grant biography by Ron Chernow and "Crazy Horse And Custer" by Stephen E. Ambrose - highly recommend both
These did not disappoint

It makes me sad that I still hear pundits parroting the Noble Cause racists' assessment of U.S. Grant as being crippled by alcoholism just because they were such whiny bitches about getting their asses handed to them by America.

The General Returns to Chillicothe! Event Details: Ross County Heritage Center 45 W. Fifth Street, Chillicothe, Ohio Friday, May 23 6:00 p.m. The Ross County Heritage Center is thrilled to welcome back a nationally renowned guest who brings history to life in an unforgettable way. Dr. Curt Fields, the country's foremost portrayer of General and President Ulysses S. Grant, returns to Chillicothe on Friday, May 23 at 6:00 p.m. for a powerful and engaging living history presentation you won’t want to miss. Dr. Fields has performed as General Grant in 22 states and at major national events, including the 150th anniversaries of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Appomattox. He has been featured on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and in films shown at national historic sites such as Appomattox Court House and Fort Donelson. His authentic, first-person presentations—based on Grant’s own words and contemporary accounts—deliver a vivid, deeply human portrait of one of America’s most important leaders. With his striking resemblance to Grant and dedication to historical accuracy, Dr. Fields offers an experience as close to meeting the man himself as history allows. Seating is limited, so we recommend arriving early!
Come see #GeneralGrant on May 23 at 6pm at RCHS. Dr. Curt Fields gives an amazing presentation as the general - as close as you can get to going back in time and seeing the man himself! Admission is free #LivingHistory #Impersonator #History #USHistory #Museum #Chillicothe #ChillicotheOhio #USGrant

Thanks to Freddie Ping for placing @semmesryan.bsky.social's EXPORING RECONSTRUCTION squarely in the growing literature on Greater Reconstruction! #CivWar #USGrant #Reconstruction
We had a nice night cap with friends at the US Grant after the opera. It's been a while since we've been there. I also recently finished a book on Grant by John Reeves that covered his years of leaving the Army initially from 1854 to 1864.

One of these days I'm going to have to invest in some display cases for my pocket watches. I picked up this commemorative Ulysses S. Grant one in Vicksburg about a decade ago. #pocketwatch #USGrant
You either love Grant, or you're wrong. 🤷🏻♀️ Any time I get discouraged or feel like I'm losing the flight, I channel my inner Ulyss and say, "Lick em tomorrow, though."

Galena, Ill., was home to two of the most consequential figures of the Civil War and Gilded Age. They were allies, then rivals. #civilwar #galena #history #usgrant #illinois wp.me/p8wv0A-Ar
I heard this story on a podcast from The Folger's Shakespeare Library from James Shapiro, taken from his book "Shakespeare in a Divided America". The reason Grant never performed was his Othello (pres. white) was not comfortable with a man playing Desdemona.
