*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is the first part of a wonderful two-part series on Ulysses Grant. This particular episode focuses on Grant's life up until the end of the Civil War. I found the most interesting portion was his early life--before the war. His mediocrity was what struck me most. You really had little idea that this journeyman soldier and failure in other careers would go on to become the 18th president!
Like any other episode of "The American Experience", this one practically screams quality throughout. The narration is excellent, as is the writing and production values. It provides an interesting portrait of a rather mediocre man who somehow found his calling in the war. Fascinating throughout and a must-see of anyone wanting to improve their mind and learn about one of the most important figures of the 19th century. Watch this one.
