A Boy Called Useless - Paul Harvey - The Rest of the Story

Hiram was the butt of many scornful jokes. He was tired of the other kids picking on him. His nickname was useless. Hiram was uncomfortable around guns but decided he wanted to kill something to relieve some of the pent up rage. He grabbed and gun and went turkey hunting with a friend. Find out more in this episode of Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story."

I got a copy of Grant's memoirs from Amazon and it made for some fantastic reading. His presidency was plagued with the same thing too many presidents have suffered from...the corruption of the people he trusted.

[markbergthold]

Thanks, Brad! I had never given Grant much thought, other than the surrender terms he generously gave Lee. I would like to read his memoirs, off to Amazon I go!

And now for the rest of the rest of the story. Grant's autobiography was met with critical acclaim and, to this day, is widely regarded as one of the best autobiographies ever written. It is a masterpiece of the autobigraphical art.

[puffs]

So, I heard the name 'Hiram', related the failed turkey hunt, and all I could think of was Hiram Walker's 'Wild
Boy, was I waaaay off!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

I read somewhere that during the Mexican War, Lieutenant Grant went out from the fort at which he was stationed to forage for food. Upon returning to the fort, his uniform was disheveled and probably dirty, and a superior officer stopped him and proceeded to criticize him and lecture him on the importance of being neat at all times. The superior officer who dressed him down was Robert E. Lee. . .

[dennisgrubbs]

Loved Paul Harvey discovered him back in 2000 or not much further back

[lloydlusk]

The General Grant museum / all things dedicated to U. S Grant is in a library, many special rooms, where one may see all things related to this fine general and president. But one has to travel to the South to see the honoring of this famous man, for it is at Mississippi State University, next to Starkville, MS.
GO Dawgs, Hail State.

I read a series of books on Presidents when I was in high school. For Grant, the story of his name change was based on his initials that marked his footlocker at West Point (H.U.G.), for which he was made fun of, so he changed his name to his middle name of Ulysses and took his mother's maiden name, Simpson, as his middle name.
