EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an identification tag belonging to Cornelius Robinson, a remarkable individual who enlisted as a bugler in the U. S. Colored Cavalry at the tender age of 17 during the American Civil War. Crafted from brass alloy, this unique piece features an attachment hole at its top for secure placement. The obverse side proudly displays a striking image of an American eagle clutching a shield, accompanied by the powerful inscription "IN THE WAR Of UNION 1861,2 & 3 & 4". On the reverse side, we find engraved text that reads "CO. H2RDT. U. S. / CAVY. ", indicating his company and regiment. The individually die-stamped center bears Cornelius Robinson's name encircling its perimeter, adding a personal touch to this historical artifact from the nineteenth century. This photograph is not only significant due to its association with African American heritage but also serves as a testament to Robinson's bravery and dedication in serving his country. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture, this object symbolizes more than just military service; it represents resilience and courage amidst challenging times. As we admire this tangible link to our past, let us remember those who fought valiantly for freedom and equality in America's history - their stories deserve recognition and remembrance within our cultural institutions like Smithsonian Institution.
