I never heard the story about Grant's body, but at the end of his life (Grant knew he was dying of cancer) he rushed to finish his biography so his wife would have an income after he was gone. He was successful with that and I imagine Mrs. Grant was grateful so she probably didn't kick him out of the tomb.<br /><br />JoelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802342462427733957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-56283126989568798142011-04-27T11:06:56.702-04:002011-04-27T11:06:56.702-04:00I've got one for you, Joel - have you ever hea...I've got one for you, Joel - have you ever heard the urban ledgend about U.S. Grant's body not being in Grant's Tomb because his widow said she wouldn't spend eternity next to a drunken old sot and had his body moved. I've come across that one a bunch of times over the years and wondered if there could be any truth to it. It would make a heck of a story.Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-2731268078204603412011-04-27T09:57:59.869-04:002011-04-27T09:57:59.869-04:00Wow!
