Description: Brief biography of Ulysses S. Grant's military career. Includes his commission as lieutenant general signed by Abraham Lincoln 10/03/1864).
Ulysses S. Grant's commission as lieutenant general signed by Abraham Lincoln, 10 March 1864. Army officer and United States president Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was at his best in war. Although he was a professional soldier, the United States Army probably was not the career he would have chosen had the decision been his alone. He was temperamentally unsuited to army life in peacetime, which for most soldiers in the 1840s meant long years of duty at a remote outpost on the western frontier. But Grant was also intelligent, single-minded, and almost fearless, attributes that served him well in battle. He entered the Mexican War as a first lieutenant and emerged from that one-sided contest as a captain with two citations for gallantry and one for meritorious conduct.
