  here\r\nUlysses S. Grant is one of the foremost figures in late 19th cent
 ury American history but is also one of the most misunderstood. Although h
 e served two terms as our 18th President, he is more well known today for 
 being the commanding general of the U.S. army during the Civil War. His li
 fe and legacy have sometimes fallen victim to stereotypes, rumors, and sca
 ndal. We take a look at this larger-than-life figure and try to learn more
  about the man behind the myth. Who was Ulysses S. Grant and why are we st
 ill so infatuated with him?\r\nMallory Howard is an accomplished, experien
 ced public speaker and an expert on the life and work of Mark Twain and on
  his Hartford, Connecticut home. She is also knowledgeable in American pre
 sidential history as well as the social and cultural impact of the gilded 
 age. The topics of her presentations have included Mark Twain’s life in 
 Hartford; his original marginalia; the assassination of Abraham Lincoln; V
 ictorian hygiene; Harry Houdini, and 19th-century spiritualism. She has le
 ctured at universities, scholarly conferences, and even Mississippi riverb
 oats! She is the assistant curator at The Mark Twain House & Museum.\r
