Geocache Description:


During the Civil War 9 men from Galena earned the rank of General in the Union Army. You probably already know about U.S. Grant. Hopefully you have already learned about the other 8. Five of those Generals are still in Galena. They can be found resting in Greenwood Cemetery. This cache will take you to visit them. You can learn more by reading their grave stones.

There are 6 stages to this cache. 5 of them will take you to graves of Generals. The other will take you to the grave of U.S Grant's younger brother who died of tuberculosis on Sept 13, 1861.

The listing coordinates are stage 1. The General resting there will be a 1 for the formula. The other Generals will be the number of their respective stages.
