Ulysses S. Grant

 was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. (COMIC: Backtime; PROSE: Blood and Hope)

Ulysses S. Grant wrote On The Art Of War. One quote from it was, ‘The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.’ (PROSE: War of the Daleks)

Behind the scenes

 * Backtime has its history a bit wrong. In reality, Grant was actually in the west, running the Union forces at the Battle of Vicksburg at the time that Gettysburg was being fought. Furthermore, the character within the short bears little resemblance to the historical figure.
 * However, it should be noted that as these stories are not depicting the real world, it can be assumed that the DWU simply has a different version of history to ours.
 * Ulysses S. Grant would serve as the eighteenth President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. However, his presidency has not been confirmed in DWU sources.
