I was going to post "Hattie Carroll" but got sidetracked.
I'm reposting b/c this is a very rare Dylan TV appearance from this period, on the Steve Allen Show in 1964:

Fantastic song. You could just link about 3 complete Al Stewart albums, as he specialized in "historical rock".

quote:
Rodger Wilton Young (April 28, 1918 – July 31, 1943) was a United States Army infantryman from Ohio during World War II. Born in the small town of Tiffin, Ohio, in 1932, Young suffered a sports injury in high school that led to his becoming nearly deaf and blind. Despite this, he was able to pass the exams necessary to enter the Ohio National Guard. Soon after the United States entered World War II, Young's company was activated as part of the U.S. Army. Soon after his activation, in 1943, Young was killed on the island of New Georgia in Solomon Islands while helping his platoon withdraw from a Japanese ambush. For his actions, he was posthumously awarded the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
In remembrance of Young, the songwriter Frank Loesser wrote "The Ballad of Rodger Young", a war song based on Young's Medal of Honor citation. The night infiltration course at Fort Benning is named for Young, as is a small arms firing range at Camp Perry. Rodger Young Village was a veteran's living community set up near Laguna, California (now paved over as a freeway).

Agreed... and I also think that the 2nd greatest protest song is by a guy in the same group: Chicago, by Graham Nash.

While not about a specific event in any detail, it covers many historical figures/topics of the 50s through 80s
