Individuals who join forces with the U S Grant Trail can look forward to keeping up to date on the nation’s commemoration of Ulysses Grant’s life and legacy, for the upcoming bicentennial and beyond. Also, for those who would follow Grant’s footsteps, join us in order to tap into travel tips and information. An individual membership is not for the casual observer of Civil War history, or of Grant’s Presidency, but rather it aims to engage you in the literature of the Civil War and in emerging scholarship that is bringing new light and nuance to the study of Ulysses Grant.
