Terrence V. Winschell, historian at the Vicksburg National Military Park, was featured speaker Monday night for the formal opening of an historical display titled "Around the World with President Ulysses S. Grant and Julia Grant." A large crowd was on hand at the Starkville Public Library for the opening of the exhibit, made possible through a collaboration with the Mississippi State University Libraries and the MSU-based U.S. Grant Association. Mitchell Memorial Library houses Grant's presidential collection and currently also is hosting an exhibit that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
