What I remember most is that he was sort of a goofy kid: put circus tix in a cigar box and buried it outside, then rain came and washed out the tix. Got sick on some sort of syrup. Some story about a traveling phrenologist predicting that USG would someday become President, much to the amusement of his friends who thought he was goofy. And getting kicked out of West Point for something or another. What does this have to do with your blog? Not much, I guess. just Galena. (But isn’t sort of weird–and useless—that I have such detailed recollection of something I read in my teens?

Now I have never heard of that! I think that is even more sensational than my encounter with a coyote the other day as we strolled toward one another on the path. I have never come across a coyote in the wild before and certainly had never been so close to one without a fence between.
