Actually, the holiday I had in mind was Christmas. December 25th was approved as a Federal holiday by President Grant in 1870. And, of course, like General Logan-Grant worked for Lincoln the Commander-in-Chief.
Thanks, Bill, it is always nice to get a new piece of information. I was unaware of the Grant and Chjristmas connection. Thanks again for the information.
