The Generals' Ladies: Julia and "Ulys"; The Childhood, Courtship, and Marriage of General and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant.

The attraction of this couple may appear to the casual observer as the most unlikely of relationships. They experienced quite different circumstances, which included wildly diverse economic and social conditions as well as polar opposite polital views during their childhood and developmental years. The prospect of theirs ever being one of the most deep and devoted love stories of the time would have seemed to most observers as highly unlikely, if not impossible. Through all their challanges--financial reverslas, the Civil War, and the great responsibilities Grant faced on the field of battle, their unwavering love for and devotion to each other held firm.
