Abstract
Ulysses S. Grant was a man of few words and fewer tropes. In July 1863, when the battle of Gettysburg took place, U. S. Grant delivered to the Union forces its first key military victory, and his greatest, at Vicksburg. At the same time the Union forces at Gettysburg, commanded by General Meade, rebuffed Robert E. Lee. While Grant was not in command of the Union forces in the sleepy rolling mountains of southern Pennsylvania, he was ordering blue clad young men to death in an equally important clash. Ultimately, after having been appointed General-in-Chief of all Union forces in March of 1864, he would command the final victories of the soldiers who are honored at the cemetery dedicated in Lincoln's historic address.
