The General (horse)
The General was a horse owned by US President John Tyler. He was used as a warhorse during the Civil War. When he died, John Tyler had The General buried on his Sherwood Forest Plantation, in the Sherwood Forest Pet Cemetery.
The horse's epitaph reads:
Here lie the bones of my old horse, "General,"
who served his master faithfully
for twenty-one years.
And never made a blunder.
Would that his master could say the same!
