Westfield Memorial Library

In his memoirs, General Grant confessed that he was “by no means a ‘Lincoln man’” in the years before the firing of the first shots of the Civil War at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. 
By the time&nbsp; Grant accepted the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox, however, the cauldron of four years of war had forged a strong partnership between Grant and Lincoln—one that, for all intents and purposes, saved the Union.
Ken Serfass puts on General Grant's uniform and lectures as Grant, displaying a wealth of knowledge regarding this great American hero. For the past 48 years, Serfass has studied Ulysses S. Grant continuously and has presented his living history reenactment of Grant since 2004. He has presented other historical figures at the library as well.
