DescriptionUlysses S. Grant rides a white horse bareback in Placitas, New Mexico. Grant is wearing a plaid button-down shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers without laces. His dark hair is shoulder-length and he has a long beard. A printed caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Ulysses S. Grant (shown in '69 photo), 32, who claims a sudden message from above at age 3 told him he was the reincarnation of the famed general, wants everyone to have a chance to live as he does. So he's running for governor of New Mexico. Grant, who dislikes being called a hippie, plans to take his campaign through the state on horseback and via television."
