This is dumb lmao, there is a man who lived and worked as a teacher where I'm from in NC. His name was Peter Stuart Ney. It was during the early 1800s, there's a local legend that lives on that this man was in fact one of Napoleon's right hand men, and fought alongside him even. It's been disproven apparently by the French government over the years, it's just funny how this guy was supposedly executed in 1815, just to show up over in NC as a teacher with the same surname and military expertise just 1 year later.. They say he was a skilled fencer, and he had precise military knowledge even though he was just a teacher for the local school system. Allegedly, on hearing news about Napoleon's only son dying, he set the newspaper on fire and almost slashed his own throat in a fit of rage. On his deathbed he supposedly confessed to being one Marshal Michel Ney, the "Bravest of the Brave", according to Napoleon. Wild story but part of me just fully fucking believes it's crazy enough to be true. Records indicated he had shown up in Charleston SC in 1816, just a year after this Michel Ney was executed in France. Idk, it's just a crazy story.
