Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memoriam: Casper Hauzer Conrad, Major Commanding, 8th Infantry, U. S. A.; Who Died on the U. S. Transport Olivetter, August 15, 1898, From Malarial Fever, Contracted on an Errand Mercy, at Santiago De Cuba, Buried at Sea, August 18, 1898 Casper Hauzer Conrad, an American soldier, was born at Stone Ridge, near Kingston, Ulster County, New York, March 30, 1844. He came of old Holland-Dutch stock, his ancestors having lived in the state for several generations. His father, Gideon F. Conrad, filled for several years, and with much credit, the office of Sheriff of Ulster County. Thrown upon his own resources by his father´s death, the lad of tender years learned the printer´s trade, being employed in the office of the Kingston Argus when the Civil War broke out. The patriotism and decision which marked his entire life was very strong in the boy of seventeen. He enlisted in the 120th New York Volunteers (General George H. Sharp´s regiment), and served in it for most of the war. Early remarkable for his fearless gallantry in action, he took part unscathed in all the principal engagements of the Army of the Potomac, at Chancellorsville performing an act of self-sacrificing heroism, such as the rulers of Europe reward with the Victoria Cross, the Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Iron Cross.
