After the Army’s defeat at Bull Run in 1861 Colonial Berden, a competitive marksman, organized a regiment of Sharp Shooters.
————
To prove they were capable the volunteers had to place ten consecutive shots in a ten-inch bullseye at a distance of 200 yards!
————
This Sharp Shooters medal in our collection was given to Civil War Veteran USSS Corporeal Albert H. Corwin (1837-1902), who was part of Berden’s original US Sharp Shooters (1861-1865) and later the Survivors Association, organized in 1890.
————
Sharp Shooters have participated in all major U.S. engagements.
Gift of Altha S. Molle.
