“Old Baldy,” ridden by Union Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade for most of the war, survived several serious wounds before wisely “retired” in December 1864. Few, if any, soldiers could match Old Baldy’s roll call of famous battles where wounded: Gettysburg, Antietam, First and Second Bull Run, and the Siege
of Petersburg. (Library of Congress)
