Ulysses S. Grant delivered his 1st inaugural address on March 4th, 1869. Read by Jim Clevenger. As with so many historical figures, Grant has undergone shifts: from being hailed as a hero by the north in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War, to being bashed by the south in the late 19th and early 20th century, to undergoing a revival in the last 70 years with lauded biographies and reassessments. Grant was a family man; notably, he wrote his memoirs while suffering severely from cancer (he died only a few days after finishing them). These ensured a comfortable life his family, whom he loved dearly.
The cover art is an 1866 portrait of U. S. Grant by Constant Mayer.
