Grant’s Children: Fortune, Scandal & Heartbreak You Never Heard About
One of President Ulysses S. Grant’s children nearly sank the family fortune in a Wall Street scheme. Another had a glittering White House wedding that ended in sorrow. From battlefield bravery to Gilded Age boom-and-bust, the lives of Grant’s four children were anything but ordinary.

In this video you’ll discover:

Frederick Dent Grant (1850–1912): Civil War childhood (shot at Vicksburg at 12), West Point grad, frontier service, NYC Police Commissioner alongside Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. Minister to Austria-Hungary, Major General who commanded the Army’s Department of the East.

Ulysses “Buck” Grant Jr. (1852–1929): Harvard/Columbia lawyer turned financier; the Grant & Ward collapse that wiped out the family’s savings—then a remarkable comeback in San Diego, culminating in the historic U.S. Grant Hotel and major civic leadership.

Ellen “Nellie” Grant (1855–1922): America’s beloved First Daughter; a White House wedding to Englishman Algernon Sartoris, tragedy and disillusion, courageous divorce, and later-life dignity and charity before ill health.

Jesse Root Grant (1858–1934): Restless entrepreneur and engineer; bold ventures from Tijuana resort development to California business, an unlikely 1908 Democratic presidential bid, and a personal memoir preserving his father’s legacy.

Why watch?
Grant’s children reveal the hidden aftershocks of fame: how victory, money, love, and ambition shaped a famous American family after the Civil War—through triumphs, scandals, reinvention, and resilience.
