Michelle H @RT21727552 Aug 10, 2025 This documentary is incredible and fascinating. I learned so much new information about Grant - I didn't realize how important his contributions were to saving America during the Civil War. I also really liked the mix of recreations with expert discussions about him. Very well done. See more
