Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) tells the story of the future general's ancestry, birth, and early career in and out of the United States army from 1822 to 1861. Grant was born in Ohio in 1822. Growing up in his father's tanneries, he sought a different career in the military. After four years at West Point, he was stationed in Missouri, where he met his future wife, Julia Dent. In 1846, Grant served in the Mexican—American War, where he was brevetted for bravery. After the war, he was assigned to posts in New York and Michigan before traveling West to a posting Fort Vancouver and at Fort Humboldt in present-day northern California. Grant's tenor in the Pacific Northwest took place during the aftermath of the Cayuse War. After accusations of drunkenness while off duty at Fort Humboldt, Grant was compelled to resign, and returned to Missouri and his family. Six years of civilian life were difficult for Grant, as he had little aptitude for business or farming.
