Louis L. Picone

Ulysses’s Odyssey: Ulysses S. Grant’s World Tour at the Dawn of American Empire

“Talk about a road trip! Louis Picone follows Ulysses S. Grant on his historic and unprecedented post-presidential world tour. Grant traveled the globe for three years, mingling with king and commoner alike, and moving America onto the world stage. Meticulously researched and deeply fascinating, Ulysses’s Odyssey retraces Grant’s travels from England to Japan, taking readers along for a rollicking trip to vanished kingdoms.” — Matthew Algeo
