FIRST LADY TO ULYSSES S. GRANT // #18
Engaged for four years, seeing each other only once the entire time
Their dads weren’t on board with the marriage
Grant’s parents didn’t approve that her family enslaved people
After Grant’s death, she became friends with Jefferson Davis’ wife
Grandmother of Princess Julia Dent Grant Cantacuzène, a Russian princess
Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
