Presidential Free Association: Ulysses S. Grant

This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.



Horses

Grant loved horses. He worked with them when he ran his father’s taxi service, he drew pictures of them, and he encouraged his men to look after their horses after a battle before taking care of their own needs. Reportedly, the only time his men saw him lose his temper was when he saw a man beating a horse.
