Born in Ohio, the son of a tanner, Ulysses Grant was a man who initially struggled for success. He was, at best, a very average student at West Point, and his first career in the US Army was ended by an enforced resignation over a charge of intoxication. After leaving the Army, Grant was unsuccessful as a farmer, a bill collector and a salesman, but when the Civil War came, he was a man who found greatness, rising to the rank of Commanding General of the United States Army, leading the armies of the Union to victory in the Civil War before later becoming the two-term 18th President of the United States. This biography of President Grant was written in 1901, less than twenty years after his death, and offers a much more immediate image of Grant than later biographies.

Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 - July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877) following his highly successful role as a war general in the second half of the Civil War. Under Grant, the Union Army defeated the Confederate military; the war, and secession, ended with the surrender of Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox. As president he led the Radical Republicans in their effort to eliminate all vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery. Upset over uncontrolled violence in the South and wanting to protect African American citizenship, President Grant effectively destroyed the Ku Klux Klan in 1871. Grant was the first President to establish Civil Service reform, creating a two-year federally funded Civil Service Commission in 1871
