It’s a deep pull but I’ve heard of him. His contributions are often compared to and overlooked by the actions of the [Bonus Army](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army).

I remember reading about his army in Zinn’s _People’s History of the United States_, but not him himself.

I had never heard of him before now, but that’s a cool bit of U.S. history I’m liking hearing about.
