laughingrat: Buster in a diving suit, from "The Navigator" (Goin to the Moon--Keaton)

For Keaton fans in Ohio...

The Ohio Historical Society is currently displaying a panorama of art, photographs, and other items from William J. Knight's speaking tours, during which he told audiences about his more daring Civil War exploits. If the name doesn't ring a bell (it didn't for me), his story might: he was one of the Union soldiers who stole a Confederate locomotive called The General.
