Lolita, the World’s Loneliest Orca, Has Lived In This Tank For Over 40 Years
In 1970, when she was just four years old, she was captured from her family, the “L”-pod, from the Salish Sea off the coast of Seattle in the Pacific Northwest and sold to the Miami Seaquarium for about $20,000.
She currently resides in the smallest orca tank in the United States. It measures just 80 feet long, 60 feet wide, and a shallow 20 feet deep. Experts note that her tank is so small that it violates the standards of the Animal Welfare Act, legislation that outlines the bare minimum of acceptable standards of care for animals held for exhibition and research.

John Burns – The old man at Gettysburg
Most details of Burns early life are unknown, but we know that he was born in Burlington, New Jersey, 1793. He fought in the War of 1812, and was present at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane.
After the war, Burns lived and had several different occupations in Gettysburg. He lived a calm life until the Civil War broke out in 1861.
At the age of 70, Burns once again wanted to take up arms, he tried to enlist in the Union Army but was rejected combat duty due to his age. He was accepted to serve as a teamster for a short while until he was ordered home.
On July 1, 1863, Burns watched from his house as the Battle of Gettysburg began to unfold nearby. He knew exactly what he had to do.
