He says in the video, "I'll be 81 years-old next August." I'm assuming in the film, they were at Gettysburg for the final reunion ? Seems I recall reading that several of the Colored Veterans showed up unexpectedly, and the white veterans made sure they were provided accommodations like everyone else. That was July, 1938. He was barely a teenager when the war started. That might explain his story of telling General Marmaduke he, "didn't know if he'd go get them chickens or not," till Marmaduke got his pistol ! Sounds to me like something a mischievous kid would do and say. In the filmclip, he says he was "Marmaduke and Joe Shelby's bodyguard." Sure would like to know his name !
