General Ulysses S. Grant

General Ulysses S. Grant

Captain Rick as ULYSSES S. GRANT: Upon arriving in Philadelphia very early Saturday Morning April 15, 1865, Union General Ulysses Grant learns terrible news. President Abraham Lincoln has been mortally wounded. Grant boards a special train returning to Washington, D.C. During this train ride back to Washington, Grant reflects on his own life, a life full of failures and a few hard-fought victories. He correctly assumes that the weight of his badly fractured nation, a nation he dearly loves, is about to fall upon his shoulders.
