He entered the Union Army at the start of the war as an enlisted private and rose to the rank of brevet major by the wars end.

History

Prior to 1969, paper currency was available in various denominations no longer available today and in several forms. For example, between the end of the Civil War and the 1960s, United States Notes, National Bank Notes, silver certificates, and early Federal Reserve notes were issued. The design reflected in this 1 oz Copper $500 Banknote Bar comes from the 1928 release of a Federal Reserve $500 banknote. This note was in circulation until 1934.
