Botticelli, April 2012 - Le Ministre de l'au-delà, chooser; initial Q

I’m not Louis L’Amour, but the other 2 have me stumped - take 2 DQs.

  1. Lew Wallace - Union general who fought at Forts Henry and Donaldson and the Battle of Shiloh, but who is better known for authoring Ben-Hur after the War.
