My father, whose name was the same as mine, was a distinguished poet, physician, professor, and lecturer. One of his most famous poems helped preserve a historic ship. During my senior year at Harvard, I enlisted in the 20th Massachusetts. By the end of the war I was a brevet colonel. During the war, I am said to have called a high-ranking civilian a "fool." After the war, I had a distinguished legal career, culminating in a seat on the Supreme Court, serving until I was 90 years old and writing many landmark opinions. Who am I?

Edit - It had previously been announced that the trivia game would be on hiatus April 14-21 and would resume on April 24, with no questions to be posted or scored during the hiatus period.
I feel that there is a possibility that one or more players interpreted this announcement to mean that the thread posted on April 12 would be left open until April 24, and that they would have that much time to research and post their answer.
If any player was caught by surprise by the fact that this thread was closed on April 14, when they were expecting to post their answer at a later date, please send me a private conversation and let me know. If I receive such a private conversation related to this thread, I will have to throw out the question.
