Excerpt from Ulysses Simpson Grant: A Story and a PlayDuring this visit it was agreed upon by the lit tle one's friends and relations that he Should be called Hiram ulysses,-hiram out of respect to his grandfather, and Ulysses because it was such a noble name, borne by a great soldier centuries be fore.The little boy grew fast, but before he was able to remember his first home his parents moved with him to Georgetown, twenty miles away. Here Mr. Grant had bought a large stretch of woodland, near which he set up a still larger tannery than his first one, and here Ulysses spent a happy boy hood.His father owned a number of horses, and the little son never seemed so happy as when he was allowed to care for these animals or to drive them about. On the other hand, the horses seemed to understand that he was their friend. They loved the child and obeyed him readily. When he was only seven or eight years old he could manage a team of horses, and he hauled from the woods all the wood used in the house and the tannery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
