Getting Ready to Do Some RoadTripping Through History

The last several posts have been about Elbridge and Daybury Butler, members of the 27th USCT who were at Fort Fisher.  Daybury was buried at Grandview Cemetery in Chillicothe, Ohio.  I looked the cemetery up and found that a lot of notable people were buried there.

There were Ohio governors, Congressman and Senators.  As well as War of 1812 veterans, including a ratherbfamous one named Duncan McArthur, a Civil War Medal of Honor recipient (Richard Endelin) and three Union generals.  (Joseph Scott Fullerton, Richard Long Jr. and Joshua Woodrow Sill).

I will be writing about these men in my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 and Saw the Elephant: Civil War blogs.
