Ulysses S. Grant was born an ordinary westerner, but he possessed extraordinary energy, commitment, resolve, and love of family.
Several women in his life foresaw the man he was destined to become, well before the nation ever knew he existed.
They stood by him through his challenges and triumphs as he reached the pinnacle in both the military and political arena.
With their support, his improbable accomplishments placed him on a level with Lincoln by the end of the 19th Century.
Chris Burns is a Civil War historian and lifelong Cincinnati resident.
In 2016, Burns completed 16 years of research for an upcoming book about Ulysses S. Grant with noted historian Dr. James A. Ramage.
He currently speaks on various aspects of Ulysses S. Grant’s life, as well as the Siege of Cincinnati.
Burns is a former adjunct history faculty-member at NKU and is currently employed as Marketing and Education Manager at Encore Technologies.
His passion is researching history and touring battlefields, as well as working with educators to prepare students for college and career readiness.
