Charles T. WebberThe Story of the FlagFrom the collection of the Ulysses S. Grant Family. The artist captures here a tender teaching moment between General Grant’s sons, Jesse and Ulysses, and their grandfather, Jesse Root Grant, during the final months of the Civil War. Grandfather Jesse stops the costumed youths mid-march, lays down his paper, and proceeds to tell them the story of the American Flag. He explains why so many men, including their father, are willing to die and why so many have died for what it represents. |
