Clark Lagow was a Palestine merchant until the time of the Civil War when he joined the Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He became well-known in the area as a Civil War hero, commanding many men in several battles. In 1861, Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant appointed him as his aide and in 1862 Lagow was made Colonel.

Colonel Lagow retired in December 1863 and was appointed Brigadier General by brevet, for gallant and meritorious service during the war. Col. Lagow was with Grant at the Battle of Shiloh where he gave Grant a horse, named "Kangaroo," which was used by Grant during the Vicksburg Campaign.

Bonus stops: 45 minutes away is the Moonshine Store in Moonshine, Illinois (pop. 2), home of the unique Moonburger. It's a popular motorcycle destination but closed Sundays, and Helene shuts off the grill at 12:30pm. [This was a favorite spot of Terry Hammond, a long-distance rider and rallymaster who passed away last year.]
