    Ep 302 - Surprises about Ulysses S. Grant
    Feb 3 2025
    Ulysses S Grant, born and raised in Southwest Ohio's Georgetown, led the Union to victory in the Civil War and spent eight years as president. We combed his biographies and found a handful of fun and interesting things about his life - like the fact that his name wasn't really Ulysses S. Grant, and that the male side of his wedding party (including his best man) later had to surrender to him. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
