We heard is being celebrated tomorrow, so we dug up this truly impressive set of whiskers from the Archives!

William R. Hoel served as a Steamboat Captain on the Mississippi River before joining the Union during the Civil War where he served aboard the ironclad gunships Cincinnati and Pittsburg.

You may also recognize Captain Hoel's name from our true crime collection after his unexpected death in 1879 following an altercation with Dr. J. B. Hough (a man Hoel thought to be having an affair with his wife, Elizabeth).
