grant. as we will discuss, grant himself actively constructed and cultivated that vision, starting in 1885 that was explicitly his family and financial ruin on the brink of humiliation. he starts an 11 month task and completes it one week before his death. that is of course the writing of a nearly 1100 page personal memoir. it's an absolutely remarkable accomplishment. during the time it sold incredibly well. in subsequent years, it enjoyed great literary acclaim. wilson, stein, edmund and a number of other scholars have attested to its great merit. today grant will be our subject but through the lens of his personal memoirs. to start things off and this is indeed a conversation, i'm going to post just a very general question to our audience, meaning the four of you. we will talk later. challengest are the associated with using memoirs versus more timely sources written during the civil war itself? what are the challenges associated with using memoirs? >> i'd be happy to start. have a head s

[laughter] grant has attracted favorable notice. why? he gets the job done. he also, in sharp contrast to some of his counterparts elsewhere, particularly in middle tennessee and in the east, the army of the potomac, are not bugging the war department constantly for more men, more supplies, for everything to be perfect before moving out. that separated grant from some of his contemporaries. there are a lot of people, particularly george mcclellan when he was general in chief, who felt the need to lecture the chief executive on m

[applause] dr. simpson: good morning. i thank you, jill, for

grant. why? prof. semmes: i was part of a panel where we were discussing life after the white house, and i had worked generally on ulysses s. grant's presidency, but i have done some research into his life after the presidency, and one of the most interesting things about his life after the presidency is he took a trip around the world. world tours were pretty prominent in the 19th century, but grant is the first american president or former president to travel the world. a few other presidents had gone to europe after the presidency, but grant truly traveled the world. he goes not only around europe, but also russia, asia, the caribbean, mexico, and all across the united states in a three-year period after the presidency. steve: including a visit from london, a meeting with the queen, what was that significant? prof. semmes: it was significant to meet with the queen because other countries of europe looks to queen victoria. there was an interesting anecdote that prior to his visit, a united states man

grant. grant said, no i am not, i am hiram ulysses grant. well, the paper here says you are ulysses s. grant. turns out, the congressman knew that everybody called him ulysses and he knew his mother's maiden name was simpson. so he said well, it must be ulysses s. grant. so, he gives him this name and the sergeant or officer of the day, whoever he is, basically says well, what we have here is ulysses s. grant. you are hiram ulysses grant. you are saying you are not that guy. if that's true, go back home and come back in another year with the right name. so he said no, knowing what his father would think, he decides not to. he accepts the name and yet, the first three years or so, he continues to use hiram ulysses or ulysses hiram grant. and the interesting thing is, he is a mediocre student. he is not as bad of a student as has been indicated sometimes. he is actually a pretty good student. he is really good in math, he wants to become an assistant professor of math. so, he is not really all that bad but, he only reached his lessons once, be
