Galena is a mineral from which Lead is extracted. Galena, Illinois shipped much lead on Steamboats in the days before Grant was a General in the Union Army. It is on the Fever River, a tributary of the Mississippi and is often mentioned in Mark Twain’s work, Life on the Mississippi. I am a semi toothless vegetarian so Geography is my interest but Folk Tales also have their Charm
That’s a lot of information about Galena that I did not know! I do know that one of the Union’s first ironclad warships was named The Galena. Unfortunately, it’s design was poor, and it was sank during its first battle.
