Hello all. I just joined and this is my first post. I've been researching Ulysses Grant and wanted more information on the wounding of his son Fred at the Battle of Big Black River. Fred Grant himself later described the wound, which was to his leg, as minor (making fun of himself for thinking himself killed). I was wondering if anyone knows more details on the severity of the wound, specifically, was the ball lodged in his leg? Knicked it? And whether he was treated by a surgeon after?
