St. Louis, J.S. Ginger.
The all-Jewish company (designated the Concordia Guard) was organized on September 26, 1862. C.L. (Carl) Muller enlisted on that date and remained with the unit for three years, rising in rank to First Sergeant.
The “Israelitisch Company” gained much fame and respect over the course of the war.
