Description
Brooks Simpson is one of the world’s leading authorities on the life, times, and career of Ulysses S. Grant. Professor Simpson was kind enough to come on the “Leaders and Legends” podcast to discuss a man whom I consider the most compelling figure of the American Civil War—yes, even more than Abraham Lincoln. We also discuss the recent History.com series on Grant and why the general’s memoirs are considered a masterpiece of American literature.Sponsors:* Veteran Strategies (https://veteranstrategies.com/)* Girl Scouts of Central Indiana (https://www.girlscoutsindiana.org/)* MacAllister Machinery (https://www.macallister.com/)* Crowne Plaza Downtown Indianapolis Historic Union Station (http://www.crowneplaza.com/ind-downtown)* Garmong Construction (https://garmong.net/)* Bose McKinney & Evans LLP (https://www.boselaw.com/)* Bose Public Affairs Group LLC (https://www.bosepublicaffairs.com/)About Veteran Strategies‘Leaders and Legends’ is brought to you by Veteran Strategies—your local veteran business enterprise specializing in media relations, crisis communications, public outreach, and digital photography.
