I saw an article in the Rifleman showing some presentation pistols presented to Grant. I recall the article said they were given for allowing cotton smuggling sanctioned by Grant in the civil war. I think he also had some questionable land grant dealings after the war.
Grant had one of the most corrupt administrations ever assembled, until LBJ and Obama (and yes, that includes the Clintons, too). His BIA was about as bad as it could possibly get, fueling the Indian Wars in the West.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
