Description

23rd New Jersey Reunion Ribbon The “Yahoos” – Inventory Number:  VET 290 / SOLD  Col. Henry O. Ryerson (the former Lieutenant Colonel of the 2nd New Jersey Volunteer Infantry) reviewed the regiment, and disparagingly called them “Yahoos”, due to their less than military demeanor and irreverence. The men of the regiment took to the sobriquet, emblazoning it on their regimental flag, and called themselves Yahoos for the rest of their lives. *To purchase this item directly with a credit card, please click on this link.     Inventory Number:  VET 290 / SOLD
