Although being First Lady came a lot of limelight and responsibility, Julia Grant found a way to love it no matter what. She is known for constantly saying that her eight years in the White House were the best years of her life. Her lifestyle, clothing, and appearance were constantly reported in the media.

In her 2005 essay, “Mary Rowlandson and the Foundational Mythology of the American Frontier Hero,” Denise MacNeil contends that Mary Rowlandson is one of the original heroes in American Literature. This claim is particularly interesting because the typical “American hero” is most often associated with a masculine character, but MacNeil suggests that one of the earliest heroes was female. She uses Joseph Campbell’s universal “heroic cycle” as evidence that Rowlandson does in fact go through the necessary stages to be qualified as a hero. MacNeil notes that in the first step of the cycle, the “hero” must be summoned from everyday life to take part in a special quest.
Ford did this by ministering to the needs of people, especially those living in poverty in Chile. In El Salvador, she assisted those living in poverty and war victims by providing transportation, shelter, food, and burial. From what I understand, Ford did not face many obstacles except almost losing her life and dying a tragic death. August 23, 1980, a flash flood occurred and one of the Maryknoll sisters died. Ford nearly died from the same flood, but was saved by someone pushing her from the vehicle.
Somewhere in the middle of the Alaskan tundra, there is a bronze chest blazoned (#1) with gold and precious gems.

Eventually at the age of eighty-five, George Finn died with a net worth of over one-hundred million dollars.
