“Your portrayal of
General Ulysses S.
Grantwas compelling
and from my study
of history as
accurate as I could
have imagined it to
be. I especially liked
your speech. Itwas
truly like being
transported back
in time to this
momentous event.

D
r. E. C. (Curt) Fields, Jr., has been an
avid and lifelong student of the American Civil War. His interest in portraying General Ulysses S. Grant was driven by that
study and his deep respect and admiration for
General Grant.
Dr. Fields is the same height and body style
as General Grant and, therefore, presents a
convincing, true-to-life image of the man as he
really looked. He researches and reads extensively about General Grant in order to deliver
an accurate persona of the General. His presentations are in first person, quoting from General
Grant’s Memoirs; articles and letters the General wrote, statements he made in interviews
or wrote himself, and first-person accounts of
people who knew the General or were with him
and witnessed him during events.
After years working in both secondary
and higher education, Dr. Fields is now an
educational consultant and living historian.
As a consultant, he has worked in leadership
development speaking on the 10 Decisions
of Leadership as espoused and practiced
by General Grant with International Paper,
Thomas and Betts, Caterpillar, and the North
Mississippi Mayor’s Association. As a living
historian, Dr. Fields portrayed General Grant
at the 150th Sesquicentennial observations of:
Fort Donelson and Shiloh, TN, and Raymond
and Vicksburg, MS. He was selected to portray General Grant at the 150th anniversary
of Lee’s surrender to Grant at Appomattox
Court House, VA, in 2015. He has portrayed
the General at Appomattox (with the Living Historian’s group: Lincoln’s Generals) in 2012, 2013
and 2014. He portrays General Grant in the Visitor Center films now shown at Appomattox Court
House National Historic Park and Fort Donelson
National Battlefield. Dr. Fields has appeared with
the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra in Vicksburg
NMP. He was featured as General Grant, and as a
Grant authority, in the Discovery Channel three-part
documentary series “How Booze built America” and
on the National Geographic channel series “Diggers”,
in the “Grant’s Landing” segment. Dr. Fields portrays
General Grant, giving his life story, on the Civil War

“You are so authentic, that even as a military history major from West Point, it was hard to
keep reminding myself that I was not, in fact, listening to a lecture from General Grant.”
USMA, C/O 1994
“As Iwas listening toyou,
it dawned on me—‘This guy
really gets it.’ Whether
you know it or not,you have
captured the ‘heart of the
warrior’ inyour portrayal
of USG. You really have a
talent for speaking the
soldier’s truth from deep
inyour heart.”
