Historical Note
Frederick Phisterer (1836-1909) a native of Stuttgart, Germany, came to the United States as a young man. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1855, was discharged in 1860, and reenlisted in 1861, serving in the 18th U.S. Infantry during the Civil War, where he attained the rank of Captain and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Stone River. After the war, he continued to serve as a Captain in the Seventh U.S. Infantry. He was stationed at Fort Kearny, Nebraska (1865-1866) and at Forts Sanders and Bridger, Wyoming (1868). He participated in the 1869 expedition in the Wind River Mountains involving the Shoshone. From 1880 until his death, he was Assistant Adjutant General of the New York National Guard.
