Ulysses S Grant Four Days Before His Death

Ulysses S. Grant Four Days* Before His Death

Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, ULSG 7680

*Disclaimer: This photos was taken by photographer John G. Gilman for the Albany Journal on July 19, 1885, four days before Ulysses S. Grant died at the age of 63. A reprint of the photo by photographer Issac Taber incorrectly labeled the photograph as being taken five days before Grant died. The Taber copy, seen above, is part of the collections at Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site despite the misprint.
