This lithograph portrays General Ulysses S. Grant visiting the temporary tomb and second resting place of President Lincoln's casket at Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois. General Grant, a hero of the American Civil War, successfully ran for President in 1868 (serving from 1869 to 1877). Currier & Ives made this print the same year, serving to visually remind Americans of Grant's link with Lincoln's legacy.
