At the same award ceremony, The President presented the MOH to Brevet Major Alonso Cushing, commander of Batter A 4th U.S. Artillery. Cushing was killed at his battery during Pickets Charge on the 3rd day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
This was the same battle where Air Force Major Bernie Fisher got the MoH I believe.
In the ‘60s I read the book about Cushing’s Naval officer brother William. It was called Lincoln’s Commando.
Their brother Howard ran one of the best cavalry troops in the US Army and was killed in Arizona fighting the Apaches.
There was another brother in the Civil War Army also. The whole damn family had leather balls.
