Another Old Dude

Ambrose E. Burnside was a General in the Union Army, which he relunctantly accepted, and suffered a crushing defeat at The Battle of Fredericksburg. After another failed attempt at fighting the Confederate Army he requested President Lincoln accept his resignation. He may not go down in history as the greatest General but he may have paved the way for a revolution in facial hair.

Tim-There's this website, www.old-picture.com and it has a lot of photos of gnarly old men with gnarly hair. You'd probably love it, little dog.
