We are offering a 2nd Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers ribbon with a depiction of Civil War General Gilman Marston and a medal that reads, \"Gilman Marston\" and his birth & death dates \"1811\" & \"1890\". (2 1/2\" x 7\" including fringe)
**NOTE** - Gilman Marston - saw combat as colonel of the 2nd New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry during the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861, where his arm was shattered. He refused amputation, and after he had recovered, he fought in the Peninsula Campaign, Second Battle of Bull Run, and Battle of Fredericksburg. In 1862 Marston was promoted to brigadier general of U.S. volunteers and assigned to the defenses of Washington. In 1864, he commanded a brigade during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign, which was an unsuccessful Union offensive that failed to achieve its main objectives of threatening Richmond and diverting Confederate troops away from Ulysses S. Grant\'s Overland Campaign. Marston later commanded the Union troops on the north side of the James River with his headquarters located at Fort Pocahontas and participated in a brief stint during the Second Battle of Fair Oaks. Marston also served as a New Hampshire Representative and as Senator from New Hampshire.
The only other ribbon like this one, that we have found online, is at the New Hampshire Historical Society.
