Posed in 9th New York Zouave uniform with tasseled fez, holding drum at his side and sticks in his hand. Near perfect condition with Fredericks/ New York backmark.

He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor January 7, 1865 for his actions at Camden, North Carolina, April 19, 1862. The citation reads, "A drummer boy, 15 years of age, he voluntarily, under heavy fire, went to the aid of a wounded officer, provided medical assistance for him, and aided in carrying him to safety.
