Nine, Count Them, Nine Union Generals from Galena

From the Fall/Winter 2010-11 Galenian.

And since the 1960s, a group called The Galena Generals have portrayed them. You can find them at various festivals, events and parades.

They are:

Bob Buman-- Gen. U.S. Grant
Jake Heller-- Gen. John O. Duer
Aaron Dean-- Gen. Jaspar Maltby

Wayne Fellenzer-- Gen. William Rowley
Gary Jobgen-- Gen. John A. Rawlins
Cory Ritterbusch-- Gen. John C. Smith
Kirk Foecking-- Gen. John E. Smith

The article didn't say who portrayed the other two Union generals: Augustus L. Chetlain and Ely S. Parker.
