What historical figure is in this picture?

Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th president of the United States and led the Union army during the American Civil War. For his efforts, he was put on the $50 bill and is remembered as an excellent general. He was actually born with the first name Hiram, and the "S." in his name doesn't stand for anything.
