In a corner of a tiny room in a
small cottage on the banks of the
beautiful Ohio is plain wooden
cradle.
In this cradle one of Americas
men of destiny slept.
Ulysses S. Grant, twice Presi-
dent of the United States and COM
manding general of the Northern
Armies during the Civil War, was
born in the riverside village of
Mt. Pleasant on Route So, east of
Cincinnati.
The cottage in which he was
born on April 81, 1922, IS today a
museum filled with the objects
used by Grant during his lifetime.
Here are the chairs in which he
sat, the table at which he ate. A
motorist visiting the Museum will
be in the very rooms in which
this great man spent his childhood
Grant was originally christened
Hiram Ulysses, but when he re-
ported at the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point for
admission, he signed his name
Ulysses Hiram Grant and In some
way the Official record was err
roneously changed to Ulysses
Simpson Grant.
As an army officer, he served IN
the war with Mexico and resigned
in 1854 to become a farmer in st.
Louis. Later he clerked in his
fathers hardware store, in Galena,
Illinois and at the outbreak OF the
Civil War was commissioned
colonel OF the 2lst Illinois Regi-
ment
He was elected 18th President IN
1868, after his fame in the Civil
War and reelected IN 1872. de-
