So far, I've been able to find the answer to only one question. Since I may not be able to get back to a computer between now and 6 PM Saturday, I'll enter that answer now.

4. George Brinski substituted for Grover Cleveland and John Summerfield Staples substituted for Abraham Lincoln.

If I have a chance to find more answers before the deadline, I'll enter another post.

Ok, here's my (short) report:Travelled from NYC down to Florida (Destin) and returned via Alabama (the Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is awsome), Tennessee, Virginia. Saw the Monitor's turret at the very interesting Marine Museum in Newport News and visited Ball's Bluff, Bentonville and Franklin (all battlefields where I hadn't been before) because, according to my dear spouse "this is NOT going to be another Civil War battlefields trip!" Anyway, I had a great time....
