What us president was a tanner?

Answer 1

Ulysses Grant was noted for his ability to train horses. His father was a tanner and Grant worked in his father's store, selling leather goods, but I don't think he did any tanning - maybe he helped out as a boy.

Answer 2

Ulysses Grant's father was a tanner and a seller of leather goods. Grant, himself, sold leather goods with his father for awhile, but I do not think he did any tanning.
