Hi, my name is Ulysses S. Grant. I was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio on April 27th, 1822. After I graduated I went and fought in the Mexican War. After I retired from war I tried business for awhile. After many failed attempts I went to work for my brother in his leather shop as a clerk. I met my wife Julia Dent and we got married on August 22,1848. We had four beautiful childre Frederick, Ulysses, Ellen, and Jesse. I was elected president on May 4, 1869 and I served until March 3, 1877. I was the 18th president of the United States. I passed away on July 23,1885 at age 63 due tongue and tonsil cancer. A fun fact about myself is that my name is actually not Ulysses. My name given to me at birth is Hiram. I gained the name Ulysses when I was in the army. An officer in the army wrote the name Ulysees instead of Hiram on a nomination form, and because they refused to change the name on the form I decided to adopt the name. This is all about me. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me!
-Ulysses
