Extra Credit Questions

[L Verge]

Someone please tell me who the good-looking Philip H. Sheridan is in the middle of the back row because it is not the Civil War Sheridan who destroyed the Shenandoah Valley. Also, the "real" Sheridan didn't marry until after the war, and his only son and namesake wasn't born until 1880. Is this handsome man a nephew? Is the Michael V. Sheridan beside him his father and uncle of the CW general?

Don't tell Rick Smith and Wild Bill, but I have two, beautiful, wooden shelves in my house that are supported by carvings of Sheridan and Grant done by a Union veteran who served under Sheridan (and hence under Grant).

The gentleman identified as James Gregory sure looks like Hulk Hogan. And, what is meant by the title of "Surrogate of New York?" Is that a fancy word for "representative?"

As for this mission, our White House press office today would classify it as a "fact-finding mission." In truth, it probably really was a good-ole fishing trip to get out of the humid Washington, D.C.
