I personally appreciate that you got a mention in there of the too often over-looked and forgotten Moses Fleetwood Walker.
Fleet is a fascinating character in our history, not just for his on-field exploits. From the tragic (fatally stabbed a man who was a member of a racially motivated attack on him, was later convicted of mail fraud and spent a year in prison) to the triumphant (he was a journalist and author who published both a newspaper and a book, he managed an opera house, and produced a number of patented inventions), his life was anything but ordinary.
