I have been writing about him in my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog last month and this month.
He was a veteran of the War of 1812 and Mexican War and had tried to assist the Union cause in the Civil War, but had been turned down because of his age.
But then, the war came to him in a big way and he took full advantage of it to serve.
Quite a character and worth a read, so go to the blog. You can get there by clicking on the My Blog list to the right of this.
