Ulysses S. Grant and Mark Twain were quite famous. One went to war with weapons and men, and the other could do the same with words and wit - yet their separate paths became one. During this country’s great and terrible civil war, U. S. Grant saved the nation. After the war, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) would save U. S. Grant. This is the story of their remarkable friendship.

To me, Mark Twain is one of the greatest Americans of all time.
That was a beautiful story and picture of true friendship. Makes me think even more highly of these two great men.
You are so right to teach history as a story and you tell it SO WELL. ❤
I never knew they were so connected. Two titans of their age. Thank you for your hard work and great storytelling.
Courteous, kind, and...thank you. Also, I am deeply indebted to you and your staff for your continued fine study of the times those days were and the equally excellent presentation of same.
This channel, the stories, the voice of the narrator, everything is top notch
Worlds biggest fiber, twain, was friends with an honest man who always stayed true to himself, giant. What a pair. To be a fly on the wall as those two had a conversation.
*fibber.
Auto correct sucks 😂😂😂
Why would you have to be a fly?
They probably would have been just as candid if a third person was in the room.
And were you there to make such statements?

Poor Ulys was in so much pain that last year it would have been hard for him to smile.
Mark Twain is the forest gump of the late 1800s he appears in so many unlikely stories.
This was fantastic! Thank you 👍
To be clear, the train that took Grant to upstate New York went to SARATOGA Springs, not "Sarasota" Springs. And the cottage was near Saratoga, not Syracuse, which is nowhere near there.
Thank you for this compelling story of the connection between two different but very great Americans.
So ready for another great Video! Thank you, team!
Happy fruitful year, I'm beyond excited! In just one week I'll be debt-free, having paid off my entire $285,000 debt and begun a new chapter of financial freedom.
How were you able to do It?
Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God
its luck, it's me just being at the right place at the right time. I met a financial and trading consultant at a seminar back at Los Angeles later last year, where she was featured and interviewed and I reached out to her afterwards.
Her name is Laura Bledsoe, I didn't know much about trading and investing so I spoke to her about it, she then later introduced me to her platform where I and other people could invest.
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $86k monthly around the turn!!!
A CNBC news host spoke highly big about this woman and her loss preventing strategies. Been trying to reach her since. Thanks y'all for the info.
You are the best storyteller I've ever heard.
Had no idea about Grant and Clemens AKA Twain were friends. Very interesting commentary on them. Thank you! 💕👊👍
Its odd, that I never came across this. Im a fan of both. First asba fan of their work in their chosen fields, but even more as I got older and found kinder sprits in them both, that is odd! Very cool! Good choice of topic! Its rare to get cool side information surounding the war. Thanks!!!
Thanks!
What a marvelous bit of history and so well written, as for your narration you could voice Samuel Clenens any day! My son is in his family tree via his paternal grandmother who was a Clements, the old family name and I had to send him this link to enjoy. Subscribed!
Thank you for your works! Truly intriguing!
I love my aunt Valerie and hope she appreciates this history as much as I do
I have a first edition of Grant's memoirs on my mantel.
I've always loved this story.
Wonderful, thank you very much.
The greatest thing Clemens did in his long life.
These videos mean so much to me. I enjoy them so much.
Thank you for this info. This is history that I never knew. Wishing you success in providing great videos going forward.
Two heroic Americans!
Grant headed for Saratoga Springs, and the cottage is not near Syracuse.
Yes, we know however, you’re speaking about our families and we’re very grateful that you brought this individuals view on the cycles of life and dog determine this to build the republic of the Americas, which, as we are an incredible transition, the West was never settled in grant time, and we are settling it now with California and Texas way to Patagonia
Superb tale, thank you. ❤
The story of President Grants final great work, in the midst of a slow death by cancer is as harrowing and satisfying as any of his battle victories.
Twain worked at his brothers newspaper in Virginia city. Grant was a friend of Virginia city and gave a speech there. Virginia city boom town the Comstock lode just out of reno.
What a remarkable story! It may not meet the quality of your narration, but it would make a brilliant film.
I lived in Humboldt County for several years earlier this century. While I knew who US Grant was of course, I knew relatively about him. Until I visited Fort Humboldt State Park and learned he had served there and had resigned his commission in the army due to excessive drinking. It was hard for me to comprehend that the general who saved the Union and later served two terms as president had once sunk to the bottom. That is what makes Grant unique to me. He was a complete and total failure in his middle age, until the Civil War. It's still almost defies belief what he accomplished when given a second chance.
It sounds like I should read Grant's memoirs.
Comparing it to "Caesar in Gaul." Chills down my spine.
Brilliant!
It makes perfect sense. It would take a man like Mark Twain to understand a man like Grant. I think that was the bond.
That was great!
Riveting , thank you.
I’m proud to own an original 2-volume set.
Mark Twain began in the proconfederate miltia in the North East corner of the (proconfederate majority) Little Dixie Hannibal. (Missouri had 5 main areas and 2 main areas were proconfederate, the Little Dixie for the higher % slave population and the South Kansas border area for the Bleeding Kansas (1854-1860) precivil War era. The St Louis area, Ozark region and the Iowa border stripe areas were prounionist majority regions.) Mark Twain's brother was prounionist and he took his brother to Nevada. Mark Twain became prounionist in Nevada.
My cousins and I here in the west lived like huckleberry fin and Tom Sawyer
They were friends? Woah!
2 of the best Americans who ever lived, and NOT surprisingly bounding
Copies of General Grant's memoirs are available from Amazon books.
One can be a Genius Military Leader and totally Stupid in the world of Finance.
To this day there are many Ward characters up to no good.
Gullible Grant is lasting impression he made of himself during his final years.
Nicola Tesla was good freeds with Mark Twain 😁
I think that gives credabuolity to Teslas good personality. Not a nutter big oil makes him out yo be.
...sure they were both were Mo. boys....
Magnificent video. Subscribed!
Thanks!
