Garfield and Hays?

Edit - James_tiberous, while there is reason to question whether Garfield saw combat during Morgan's Raid, other players have provided links to a source that says he did. Therefore, you will get credit for a correct answer. You may thank adisciu9 and CheathamHill.

Welcome to the trivia game. Hope you'll come back and play again.

The Battle of Buffington Island was the most significant engagement in what is called Morgan's Raid. During this battle two future U.S. presidents participated — Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley. Both served with the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry

That would be William McKinley (23rd Ohio) and Rutherford B Hayes (in command of the 23 but also of the entire First Brigade of the Second Kanawha Division consisting of the 23rd, the 89th Ohio, and two cavalry companies)

I think that McKinley and Hayes are the answer to all questions about the War of the Rebellion that include the words "which two future US Presidents...."

Why I don't have the answer - at wikipedia John Hunt Morgan, click on calico, click on calico prints, click on Samuel Pepys, click on Great Plague of London, forgot what the question is.
