My history teacher liked to ask if anyone knew when the War of 1812 was fought or who was buried in Grant’s Tomb. There would always be a few scratching their heads.

Quite a bit depends on what you are willing to accept for answers. The War ran from 1812-1814, but the Battle of New Orleans was in 1815. And Most people don't know that both Grant and his wife are both buried there.

Nobody is buried in Grant’s Tomb. He and his wife are entombed there but not buried underground.
