Joseph Kimball's Medal of Honor for Capturing the "Bloody 6th's" Battle Flag/ Custer Connection


I looked it up and Joseph Kimball did receive a Medal of Honor while serving in Company B, 2nd West Virginia Cavalry, for capturing the 6th North Carolina's battleflag.

Also, Tom Custer, the brother of George Custer who later died alongside his brother at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876, received two Medals of Honor within a week of each other.

One was for capturing the battleflag of the 2nd North Carolina and the other was at Sailor's Creek for bravery.
