FUN HISTORY FACT:; GENERAL JOHN SEDGWICK WAS A GENERAL IN THE CIVIL WAR. ONE OF HIS COMPANIONS ASKED HIM TO LOWER HIMSELF DOWN, AS HE WAS STANDING UP WHILE THE CONFEDERATES WERE SHOOTING. HE SAID: "DON'T WORRY. THEY COULDN'T HIT AN ELEPHANT FROM THIS DISTAN-" HE IMMEDIATELY WAS SHOT IN HIS LEFT EYE AND DIED.
