Ulysses S. Grant hated Fort Humboldt in 1854

Fort Humboldt! My wife and I lived in Eureka for a year. Our oldest son was born there. Visited Fort Humboldt many times, you could have the whole place to yourself on weekdays in the winter. Great place to walk, clear your mind and think of what once was. Enjoyed your episode very much

He was also stationed at Fort Vancouver in Washington,and visited Fort Steilacoom also in Washington.I want to wish you Sarah a very Merry Christmas and a awesome New Year 🇺🇸🎄🎄🎄

My Sunday morning is now complete with another interesting history lesson. Thank you, Jeff and Sarah. May you have a blessed Christmas filled with love and joy.

I had no idea Grant was in Humboldt County. I can understand why he felt that way. He may have felt like the Military abandoned him at this point. He sure over came his demons and depression! I guess Grant was wrong on the Indians of Humboldt. Thus proving the daily drills and military discipline was vital to ensure survival then as it is today. I’m sure he exceeded all of his father’s expectations. Proving one can overcome depression and addiction to go on to do great things. Merry Christmas Jeff and Sarah!

My high school American government teacher claimed that he wasn't a true alcoholic, but poorly tolerated any amount of alcohol, & his staff would make sure that he only had shot-glass sizes to drink from.---I completely understand your ghosts of the past comment. I've had powerful experiences myself, in many different locations...Bandelier National Monument outside Los Alamos, the USS Arizona, the Kiev Memorial. History seemed so alive there.

Great episode of one of the greatest Americans that lived. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jeff, and Sarah. 🇺🇲 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🤶 🎄

Thank you Jeff! I had no idea of Grant's history in Humboldt County. Very educational and informative.

So happy you did not miss Fort Humboldt. After my visit I bought a Grant Biography to learn more. Also learned a lot about the abuse and murder of Native Americans in the Eureka area. As always love your channel.

Interesting story of Grant. I didn't know he had been kicked out of the army prior to the Civil War. He just wasn't cut out for an isolated post. Sad what the settlers did to the Native Americans after he was gone. Wishing you and Sarah a very merry Christmas.

Strange how circumstances present themselves; had it not been for Grant's sordid past, he would never have risen to the lofty height of the presidency. Shunned by an indifferent wife with questionable intentions, Grant suffered from severe alcoholism and unfathomable bouts of depression. I was fascinated by your account of this misunderstood icon, Jeff.

WOW, I had no idea about the personal side of Grant's life. This was very eye-opening, and pretty sad. Thanks, Jeff and Sarah for this video.
