Local Hero, National Bravery: The Story of Hiram W. Purcell and the Medal of Honor Growing up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civil War history wasn't just in textbooks; it was woven into the fabric of our community. Monuments dotted the landscape, silent testaments to the sacrifices made generations before. One name that resonated with me was Hiram W. Purcell, a local boy who earned the highest military honor – the Medal of Honor. Hiram, born in 1837 in Upper Black Eddy, wasn't just a name on a plaque. He was a young man, not much older than I was when I first learned about him, who volunteered with the 104th Pennsylvania Infantry during the Civil War. In 1862, at the Battle of Fair Oaks, Virginia, Hiram found himself in the midst of a fierce battle. As his regiment retreated, entrusted with carrying the colors, he displayed courage that transcended the chaos. Facing the advancing enemy, a decision had to be made in a split second. Hiram, instead of continuing the retreat, turned back into the fray. His singular focus – to save the other regimental flag from capture. This act of selfless bravery, under heavy fire, stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication to duty and his comrades. Hiram's heroism wasn't recognized immediately. It wasn't until 1894, over 30 years later, that he received the Medal of Honor. Though delayed, the recognition solidified his place among the nation's bravest. Hiram W. Purcell's story is a reminder that heroism can emerge from the most ordinary people. It's a call to courage that echoes through the ages, inspiring us to stand tall in the face of adversity. #HiramWPurcell #MedalofHonor #CivilWarHero #BucksCounty #LocalHistory #AmericanValor
