Military Army Horse Cavalry Scout Soldier Graduation Gift Bronze Marble Statue

The famous Union Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant was considered a great general but a terrible president. He consistently ranks near the bottom of the historian's poll. In the military he had a reputation for putting the most qualified people in charge, and political reformers believed this would hold true in the White House as well. As Grant became accustomed to party politics, however, he fully embraced partisanship, and many of the people he put in charge were corrupt. By the time he took office in 1869, most of the Confederate states had been restored to the Union with Republicans in control. The Fourteenth Amendment had been ratified, and the Fifteenth was making its way around the states.. The piece was crafted using the lost wax method. It rests on a black marble base and is signed by artist Aldo Vitaleh.
