Description
Grant was required to serve in the military for four years upon graduation from West Point taking his mandatory service to 1847. Grant's first assignment after graduation took him to the Jefferson Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri, in September 1843.[17] It was the nation's largest military bastion in the West, commanded by Colonel Stephen W. Kearny. Grant was happy with his new commander, but looked forward to the end of his military service and a possible teaching career. He spent some of his time in Missouri visiting the family of his West Point classmate, Frederick Tracy Dent. He later became engaged to Dent's sister, Julia in 1844.
