Born: April 27, 1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio
Died: July 23, 1885 in Wilton, New York
Died: July 23, 1885 in Wilton, New York
West Point graduate Grant (1822-1885) had little success in civilian life but was one of the greatest military leaders the United States has produced. After winning many victories on the Mississippi during the American Civil War, culminating in the capture of Vicksburg (1863), he was brought to the Virginia theatre to face the forces of Robert E. Lee, who had bested a long series of former Union generals. He finally compelled Lee's surrender (April 9, 1865) on generous terms. Grant's two terms as Republican President (1869-77) were less successful.
