I was looking under the civil war thinking it would be Gettysburg, or Vicksburg or somewhere like that. Not even close. Indian Wars, The battle of Wounded Knee Creek.

Sid...please correct me if I am wrong....was the MOH still issued basically as a Purple Heart during this time or was that further back?

However at its inception the submission rules were not as stringent as they currently are. The citations prior to WW I are sketchy in many cases. Basically you have to know the war and research the battle to get some idea of what happened. makes for some of the best history reading I have done in years.
