Description

Time for a little tongue-in-cheek. I am rushing a bit today...four hours until company arrives. Story here: My grandfather "Pop", liked to smoke his pipe and cigars and drink beer at home after work. General Ulysses S. Grant of USA Civil War fame and later president of the USA, liked the same things. So in this, my 2nd or 3rd photo manipulation ever (about year 2000), my grandfather is welcoming "Sam" Grant at my grandfather's house sometime in the mid-1920s for a beer. My grandfather is still wearing his painter's clothes from a full day out on the job. General Grant is wearing a uniform similar to the one he wore in April 1865 when he accepted the surrender of General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia, effectively ending the Civil War. Silly but fun. Happy Thanksgiving to all who see this and celebrate this day! Bill:) Note: If I had the bits and pieces of this for a do-over, I'd clean up the General's image more...I didn't know much about artifacts 9 years ago:-)
