Or the LT.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Wonder how this stacks up against the fellow at Gettysburg?
Think his name was John Burns? and he was too old for the army or the militia.  He had been in the War of 1812, fought with Winfield Scott at Lundy's lane and Chippewa, and was proud he could still ride a horse when old Winfield had to use a carriage.
So he was some kind of a lawman, maybe a county sheriff?
When he heard that Bobby Lee and his wild boys were in the area, he went out alone to arrest them.
