For a history buff the timeframe is incredibly off…1858 was before the Civil War, my dad was born in 1950 and was lucky enough to have the proper # to get out of the Vietnam draft “lottery” (late 1960s to 72). If your grandfather was in London before Abraham Lincoln was elected he would be kind of dead before the 1960s, not having a falling out with his 100+ year old son…also questioned how he was courting his future wife in 1858 yet still later that night thought of her and his child Daniel at home waiting for him that brought him to his senses, so really not trying to nitpick but with so many discrepancies extremely difficult to make heads or tails of anything. Except yeah spider lady ate your great grandfather’s buddy.
