Happy birthday to Ulysses S Grant born on April 27, 1822.
Born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, Hiram Ulysses Grant was a captain in the Mexican American War and a general in the Civil War. He was also the Secretary of War in Andrew Johnson's administration, and the 18th president of the U.S.A. The S in his name is the result of a clerical error during his first days at the United States Military Academy at West Point. It doesn't actually stand for anything, thus it doesn't need a period after it. Grant died on July 23, 1885 in Wilton, New York. His grand tomb is located in New York City.
