Taken in 1908 by the renowned Byron Company, this silver gelatin print showcases the impressive monument standing tall amidst a bustling street scene. General Ulysses S. Grant, who served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877, was not only a statesman but also a revered military commander during both the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.
