The title, "Gen. Grant's horse," points to a horse linked to Ulysses S. Grant, the Union general who later served as president, though the caption was recorded by the Bain News Service and has not been independently verified. The record gives no date, so the picture cannot be placed precisely. The Bain collection holds news photographs taken mainly in the early 1900s, and images like this one often show a later view of an object or animal tied to a famous figure from the 1860s. Viewers should read the title as the photographer's identification rather than a confirmed fact.
