Speaker: Curt Fields

Grant came from humble beginnings along the Ohio River, made a military name for himself near that river’s confluence with the Mississippi, and went on to use “the Father of Waters” to split the Confederacy in two. That effort set him on the road to Chattanooga, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the long siege of Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House in some of the war’s most intense and infamous battles. In less than three years, he rose to become the highest-ranking officer in the U. S. Army.
