These three stereoviews featuring General Ulysses S. Grant offer a rare glimpse into moments of his life and military command during the Civil War:
1, Grant with Family at City Point, Virginia.
Description: This view captures Lieutenant-General Ulysses S. Grant with his wife and son outside their quarters at City Point, Virginia. This location was Grant’s headquarters during the later years of the Civil War and offers an intimate look at the General’s family life amidst his duties.
2, Grant with General Rawlins at Cold Harbor, Virginia (June 14th, 1864)
Description: This stereoview shows Grant alongside his chief of staff, General John Rawlins, at Cold Harbor, Virginia. The scene depicts the command tent and reflects on a pivotal moment during Grant’s campaign, just days after the brutal battle at Cold Harbor.
3, Grant with His Horse, Lexington (June 4th, 1864)
Description: The third stereoview showcases Grant with his famous horse Lexington at Cold Harbor, Virginia. Lexington was well-known as a favored war horse, and the image emphasizes the connection between commanders and their trusted steeds during wartime.
All three stereoviews were published by E. & H.T. Anthony & Co., New York, with negatives by Brady & Co. These original war views reflect both the personal and strategic aspects of Grant’s leadership during the Civil War.
