Grant, commanding general of the Union armies during the Civil War and later the 18th President of the United States. Grant has signed the approximately rectangular album or autograph-book cut in dark ink:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"525\"\u003e\"U. S. Grant\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"770\"\u003eThe signature is large, fluid, and immediately recognizable, with Grant's characteristic sweeping penmanship occupying much of the available writing surface. The autograph remains dark and exceptionally legible against the lightly toned paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eThe signed cut has been professionally mounted within a larger period-toned backing and permanently encapsulated in a PSA holder.

As a detached signature, it cannot be assigned specifically to Grant's Civil War command or presidential years without additional provenance. Nevertheless, it represents a direct autograph of one of the central figures of the Civil War, the Lincoln administration, and Reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1852\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eHistorical Context:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003e\nUlysses S. Grant stands among the most consequential American military and political figures of the nineteenth century. Born in Ohio on April 27, 1822, Grant graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1843 and served with distinction during the Mexican-American War. After leaving the Army in 1854, he returned to military service following the outbreak of the Civil War and rapidly emerged as one of the Union's most successful commanders. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"1815\" data-content-reference-end=\"1847\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"2522\"\u003eGrant's career is inseparably connected with President Abraham Lincoln. Following Grant's victories in the Western Theater, including the crucial Vicksburg campaign, Lincoln promoted him to lieutenant general and placed him in command of all United States armies in March 1864. From that position, Grant directed the coordinated military campaigns that ultimately destroyed the Confederacy's ability to continue the war. The National Park Service confirms that Grant was appointed by Lincoln to command all Union armies and that he supported Lincoln's central wartime objectives of preserving the Union and advancing emancipation. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"2480\" data-content-reference-end=\"2499\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2524\" data-end=\"2886\"\u003eThe culmination came at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Grant. Grant offered comparatively generous terms, permitting Confederate soldiers to return home and allowing men who owned horses to take them with them for spring planting. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"2826\" data-content-reference-end=\"2845\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2888\" data-end=\"3368\"\u003eThe timing was tragically close to Lincoln's death. Only five days after Lee's surrender, on April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre and died the following morning. Grant therefore occupies an especially important position in Lincoln collecting: he was the general whom Lincoln ultimately entrusted with supreme military command and the commander whose campaigns brought the Confederacy to the point of surrender just days before the assassination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3370\" data-end=\"3853\"\u003eGrant subsequently became a national political figure. Elected President in 1868, he served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 through 1877. His administration confronted the enormous challenges of Reconstruction, and Grant supported federal protection of African American civil and voting rights. His presidency also saw the creation of the Department of Justice and the use of federal authority against Ku Klux Klan violence. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"3775\" data-content-reference-end=\"3807\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3855\" data-end=\"4197\"\u003eGrant died on July 23, 1885, shortly after completing his celebrated memoirs. His life thus encompassed an extraordinary progression from West Point cadet and Mexican War officer to Union general, trusted commander under Abraham Lincoln, victor at Appomattox, and two-term President of the United States. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"4114\" data-content-reference-end=\"4133\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4199\" data-end=\"4385\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4199\" data-end=\"4234\"\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Encapsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4234\" data-end=\"4237\"\u003e\nThis Ulysses S.

Grant, combining exceptional visual presence with direct associations to Abraham Lincoln, Union victory, Appomattox, Reconstruction, and the American presidency. Grant signatures are particularly desirable because they cross several major collecting fields: presidential autographs, Civil War history, Abraham Lincoln material, military history, and nineteenth-century Americana. With its unusually prominent signature, strong ink, attractive presentation, and PSA\/DNA certification, this example offers an excellent opportunity to acquire the autograph of the general Lincoln elevated to command all Union armies and the future President whose name became permanently associated with Union victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5840\" data-end=\"6272\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"5840\" data-end=\"5860\"\u003eShipping Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"5860\" data-end=\"5863\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-start=\"5863\" data-end=\"6272\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eFor insurance purposes, items sold over $600 may require signature confirmation upon delivery.
