Hiram
Ulysses
Grant
was
born
in
Point
Pleasant
,
Ohio
, in
April
1822
. In
1823
his
parents
moved
twenty
miles
east
to
Georgetown
,
where
his
father
opened
a
tannery
.
Ulysses
worked
in his
father's
tannery
, and from the
ages
of
about
six
to
thirteen
, he
attended
classes
in the
little
schoolhouse
on
Water
Street
. The
building
,
built
in
1829
,
consisted
of
only
one
room
at that
time
. The
teacher
was
John
White
,
whom
Grant
mentioned
in his
memoirs
.
Later
Grant
attended
an
academy
in
Maysville
,
Kentucky
, for a
year
, and then
John
Rankin's
academy
at
Ripley
for a
year
. His
father
then
succeeded
in
getting
him
appointed
to
West
Point
where
,
through
a
bureaucratic
error
, his
name
was
listed
as
Ulysses
Simpson
Grant
. The
information
written
on the
back
of the
original
photograph
reads
