Here is a Grant Bicentennial Event near Columbus, Ohio. From local news reporters.
The Ross County Historical Society has announced that its Spring Speakers Series will start April 27 with a commemoration of the 200th birthday of Ulysses S. Grant.
The commemoration will feature acclaimed living historian Dr. Curtis Fields, Jr., of Tennessee. Fields will be returning for the first time since he played during the opening of the society’s 2019 Spring Speakers Series. He will address “The Desperate Years” that followed Grant’s resignation from the army in 1854 including several failed business ventures and struggles to earn a living, his reenlistment in the army and quick rise through the ranks at the beginning of the Civil War and his early victories on the battlefield that set him on a path to higher command and greatness. His first-person presentations are based on Grants actual words, both written and spoken.
