In the mid 19th century a man rose to prominence in the United States and became known as one of the greatest leaders the military has ever seen and a pretty okay dude to boot. But, the first half of his life was kind of a miserable failure in which he constantly lost his job, drank all the time, and was ridiculously poor. Unfortunately they didn't have podcasts back then to help him earn money he didn't deserve, so he had to wait for a war to make him a national superstar. In this episode we're talking about those painful early years and the struggles of a future hero. So grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Ulysses S. Grant Part I...More Like Useless!
