Grant was Chief Trader and Commander-in-Chief at Fort Hall. He was described as "a Falstaff of a man with gray head and beard, portly frame and jovial dignity". Upon his retirement from the service he settled on a cattle ranch in the Beaverhead region of Montana. In 1850 Capt. Richard Grant, with his sons John and James Grant began trading along the Emigrant road in Utah for footsore and worn-out cattle and horses. This stock was usually of good quality and only needed rest and a little care to make them fine animals. The Grants spent the summers along the Emigrant road between Bridger and Salt Lake, and in the fall drove their stock into what is now Montana. The Grants continued trading and building their herds during the 1850s. He died, along with his daughter, Helene, on Mill Creek, near Walla Walla when returning from The Dalles with a year's supply of provisions for the ranch.
