Galena man? Oh wait,you said Ohio,not Illinois.
I know but,I googled him. Will wait for others.
I not sure he was from Ohio, but I know Garfield died in office. So that is my guess.
That would be correct sir.

Can you name her sister ship built in France and sold to Prussia Oct 29, 1865 and named SMS Prinz Adalbert?
I know this is a tough one so I will give at least two days maybe a week before posting the answers if they still haven't been answered. Try your reference books first. Google as a last resort.
If I may be permitted,while the winner rests,and gets a question ready. Which Union General supported John C. Breckinridge,and Jefferson Davis for Democratic Presidential candidates before the war? This person was later called "beast",and other non-flattering names.
Its Gary's turn but while we wait, do you feel up to another naval question?
The CS Navy attempts to procure ironclad cruisers from overseas were frustrated as European nations confiscated ships being built for the Confederacy.

You are Major General Phillip Kearney.As a young boy I was adopted by my Grandfather who was in the Army. He forbade me to join the military. He died in the 1830's leaving me a fortune of 100 million dollars or more. I soon joined the military or purchased a Lt. commission and fought Mexicans, who shot off my arm. At Civil War I was soon a Union Gen who rallied my men with reins in my teeth and saber in my good arm. At Chantilly I rode into a large body of Rebel infantry, refused to surrender and hugged my horse low and attempted a getaway...took many shots to the back and one bullseye that came in low/middle and exited the head. If he surrendered he would have been exchanged in 6 months or less.
