Monday, Oct. 6th — Julia Grant at 200
Frank Scaturro, now an Ohio resident, returns to the Grosvenor CWRT once again. This time he’ll be talking about Julia Grant, Ulysses S. Grant’s wife. This story traces her remarkable life from St. Louis, where she was born, to her death in Washington, DC, in the early 20th century. She was born to a slaveholding family, had a notably rich marriage that sustained Gen. Grant through tumultuous conflict and profound political change as he led armies and then served as president, and ultimately was a pathbreaker as a first lady.
Meetings starts at 7:00 in the large conference room in the Athens County Library at the Corner of Home and Lincoln streets in the City of Athens.
