Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

Jimmy Hoffa.

I do not know who Grant is.
Sound's Civil-War-ish though.
Having read Confederates in the Attic (courtesy of the lovely Brianna) I would guess a leg, an arm or a horse.

Cheaty, cheaty, suggesting three. But I have pretty much zero chances on any one of them.
Took me half the book to get around the different names used for each side.

What color was George Washington's white horse?

Nobody is buried in grant's tomb: tombs are above ground.

Got extra points for coming up with that answer when hs history teacher tried that one.

Another answer I once heard is that it is both Grant and his wife, who are buried (or laid to rest, I guess) together.
