Huzzah!

 We had the pleasure of hosting Curt Fields for a week of events in Scottsdale.  Curt has portrayed Ulysses S Grant (real name - Hiram Simpson Grant) for the past seventeen years.  At this point it is probably more accurate to say Curt is Grant as he moves seamlessly into any part of the great man's life.  The National Park Service has Curt portray General Grant at its annual commemoration of the surrender of Robert E Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House. 

On Tuesday night he appeared as General Grant at the end of the war at the Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable at which we had a turnout of 200, our largest since before Covid.  Wednesday night, Curt was at the Sun City/Surprise Roundtable for a dinner with sixty.  Thursday morning was an appearance at the Scottsdale's Museum of the Western Spirit speaking to 75 senior citizens as President Grant.  That evening Curt wrapped up his schedule with another appearance at the Museum, speaking as the former president to an audience of one hundred, this time with a focus on the Indian policy of his administration and reflecting upon its failure.

At each event Curt captivated his audience, taking us back in time.  We hope to have him back.
