This episode is a first for Civil War Reports, as this is the first Post-War episode of this channel. In this episode, I will take you to update New York, to Mt. McGregor, to visit the home General U.S. Grant spent the last days of his life. He arrived here on June 16, 1885. In terrible pain, he fought a race against time to complete his memoirs before he passed away.
In Part 1, I will take you from December 24, 1883, the day he fell and probably fractured his hip, until shortly before he left New York City for the comfort of upstate New York. I will also, briefly, show you the inside of the house, and the exterior of the house. This house is a time capsule of the day Grant passed away. Almost all of the furnishings inside were their the day Grant departed this world.
Please check back soon for Part 2.
