His name escapes me now but that old man is the War of 1812 Veteran from Gettysburg who grabbed his old flintlock and joined the Union troops that day to fight and was slightly wounded, hence his shoes being off.
Typically, he reportedly caught holy hell from his wife fer being such a darned old fool to go and do such a thing. :D
