Log Excerpt: "We then continued over to Riverside Drive and north to Grant’s Tomb National Memorial. After a few photos, although we’ve been here before, we went around back looking for the spot of Grant’s first tomb, before the large memorial was constructed. We found the spot I had mapped out, but it only had a plaque commemorating a tree given by the Chinese in honor of Grant’s tomb. Not really thinking this was the right spot, we went to the (relatively new) VC and asked a Ranger. Sure enough, we had been at the right spot. We watched the end of the VC film that was running, then examined some photos the Ranger pointed out to us which showed the original tomb (now gone). So, we returned to the back of the current tomb, and photographed the little plaque and tree area marking the location of Grant’s first tomb."
