Ulysses S. Grant III in "The Last Reunion"

In 1932, Ulysses S. Grant III attended the dedication of the Richmond Battlefield Parks in Richmond, Virginia. The dedication occurred during a reunion of Civil War veterans and was on their agenda. Grant admitted he hadn't been sure of the reception he would receive, given his name, but everyone had been kind and many of the veterans crowded around him to shake his hand, including former Confederate Captain John Houston Thorpe. Thorpe felt that Grant's presence among his grandfather's former foes said much for reconciliation between North and South.
