Ulysses S. Grant III

United States Army Colonel U.S. Grant III was a grandson of the Federal General and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. In 1932, he attended the dedication of the Richmond Battlefield Parks in Richmond, Virginia. The dedication occurred during a reunion of Civil War veterans and was on their agenda. Grant admitted he hadn't been sure of the reception he would receive, given his name, but everyone had been kind and many of the veterans crowded around him to shake his hand.
