Ulysses S Grant and the horse he bought at twenty five
A young Ulysses S Grant in Georgetown Ohio buys a colt for 25 dollars after his father pushes him through a staged price ladder ending with the full sum. The tale ends with the horse later sold for 20 dollars after it becomes blind and is used on a ferry tow wheel on the Ohio River.
