Three of Grant's four children gathered for this multigenerational
portrait taken around 1880: his only daughter Nellie, far left, his
youngest son Jesse (behind her) and the eldest, Frederick, standing
toward the right, with hand on hip. Jesse was an author, engineer and
world traveler. Frederick served with his father on the major
battlefields of the Civil War. Nellie was married twice, the first
time to a dissolute diplomat whose death left her a wealthy woman.
