Happy Birthday!

18th president,

US Grant

was born 4/27/1822
(Died 1885)

Grant's tomb was dedicated 4/27/1897.
But do you know who (or what) is really buried there?


          Where volleyed thunder loudest pealed
          Along the front of war;
          The Gen'ral calmly viewed the field
          A-smoking his cigar.
