尤利塞斯·格兰特 (Ulysses
S. Grant) 生于1822年4月27日
格兰特是一个安静、谦卑、热心，且聪明的人，他后来添加美国与墨西哥的战争中 (Mexican
War, 1846-48) ，他个人虽然反对这场战争，但是他在战场上却表现出无比的勇气。 (在墨西哥战争时，美国为了德州南方部分有争议的领土，而与其邻国发生冲突。)
战争退出之后，格兰特回到家乡迎娶等待他许久的未婚妻茱莉雅．邓特 (Julia
Dent) 。但是他们只一起相处了四年，就因为格兰特的移防而必须分隔两地。虽然得到晋升，但是却无法抚平格兰特思念家庭和消弭他对军队生活的厌烦。于是这个年仅32岁的上尉在1854年提出辞呈。
The quiet, unassuming, and keenly intelligent Grant suddenly found himself on the battlefields of the Mexican War (1846-48), a conflict he personally opposed but fought with great bravery. (During the Mexican War, the U.S. fought its neighbor to the south over disputed Texan land.) After the war, he returned home to wed his longtime fiancé, Julia Dent, but the couple had only four years together before Grant was transferred. Even a promotion did not relieve Grant's longing for his family and boredom with army routine. The 32-year-old captain resigned his commission in 1854.
