The skin is most definately NOT historical. Sorry. I just like the way it came out.
I am a fan of the American Civil War, actually. But, US Grant was an unlikely character that overcame personal issues to become a great leader of men in a time when great leaders were needed.
Just my way of saying, "thanks for overcoming".
I've never been to Galena, but the name sounded good and went with the teme. I would have named it Julia after his wife, but decided against that.
It probably would have given the wrong impression if I named it after his horse, "Jeff Davis". Folks may not have gotten the reference.
