Grant’s Conscience: The Unique Camaraderie Between Ulysses S. Grant and his Chief of Staff John Rawlins

April 5 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and FREE for NMCWM members.

Join us at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine THIS SATURDAY, April 5th at 3 p.m., for our Saturday Speaker Series!

NMCWM’s Director of Marketing and Communications Melissa A. Winn will discuss the life of Union General John Rawlins, the prewar origins of his close and unique friendship with General Ulysses S. Grant, and the many ways in which the lives and legacies of these two men were not only intertwined during the Civil War, but for each of their lifetimes, and, likely, eternity.

Although barely mentioned in the personal memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, Union General John A. Rawlins, Grant’s chief of staff, was often considered his right-hand man, closest confidante, and by some, even, his conscience—the man who kept Grant sober during the Civil War. So why the snub in Grant’s two-volume recollections of the conflict in which they served side by side? Melissa Winn will uncover the myths and truths about their historic connection.

This event is included with admission to the Museum, and it is FREE for members of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
