Hiram Ulysses Grant, now known to the world as General Ulysses S. Grant, was the eldest of six children, and was born at, and was always well directed in moulding the elements of his character for future usefulness.

f more service to his country in the field, and that his duty required that he should go to the front and face the threatening danger. At the earnest request, however, of Governor Yates, who assured him that he should soon have a commission, he rendered valuable service in the organization and equipment of troops. While awaiting the expected commission, he found leisure to go to Cincinnati, hoping that he might be offered a place on the staff of Major General McClellan, then in command of Ohio troops. General Badeau's Military History of U. S. Grant. He twice called at the headquarters of McClellan, whom he had known in the army, but did hot see that officer.
