尤利塞斯·格兰特 (Ulysses S. Grant) 生于1822年4月27日

虽然身为美国历史上获得最多荣耀、也最受人尊敬的军事领袖之一，他却从未想过要把军旅生涯当成一生的志业；因缘际会之间，他却成为一个将军，并且还是两任美国总统。尤利赛斯．格兰特生于1822年4月27日出生在俄亥俄州的快乐镇 (Point Pleasant) 。他曾写道：「军旅生涯对我一点吸引力也没有，我不确定自己可以毕业，就算是我毕业了，也一点都没有要永远留在军队里的想法。」可是，格兰特在1843年真的从西点军校 (West Point) 毕业，后来还在战场上带兵作战。


One of the most honored and respected military leaders in U.S. history never even wanted a military career. Despite that, he became a general and served two terms as president of the United States. Ulysses S. Grant, born on April 27, 1822, in Point Pleasant, Ohio, wrote, "A military life had no charms for me, and I had not the faintest idea of staying in the army even if I should be graduated, which I did not expect." However, Grant did graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1843 and later began leading soldiers in battle.
