Ulysses S. Grant: A President on the Edge of the Gilded Age

Ulysses S. Grant, one of the most important and consequential presidents, is also one of the most misunderstood.

Ulysses Dietz, Grant's great-great grandson, joins The Gilded Gentleman to share his perspective on the lives of Grant and his wife Julia.

Ulysses discusses how the couple approached the beginnings of the Gilded Age from both a social and politicial standpoint, expounding upon the story from Grants’ transformation of the White House to establishing their lives in the ballrooms of the Vanderbitls in New York City.
