    NEW JERSEY’S MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS IN THE CIVIL WAR 1861-1865 By Michael R. Horgan, LTC William H. Kale, USA (Ret), and Joseph Francis Seliga 1 Preface This booklet is a compilation of the panels prepared for an exhibit at the General James A. Garfield Camp No. 4, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Museum to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. This museum is co-located with the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey in the Armory at 151 Eggerts Crossing Road, Lawrenceville, NJ. Volunteers who work in both museums prepared the exhibit over the past year. The exhibit opened on May 23, 2011, the 150th anniversary of the New Jersey Brigade’s crossing over the Potomac River into the Confederacy on that date in 1861. The two museums are open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. Group tours may be scheduled for other hours by leaving a message for the Museum Curator at (609) 530-6802. He will return your call and arrange the tour. Denise Rogers, a former Rider University student intern at the Militia Museum, and Charles W. Cahilly II, a member and Past Commander of the General James A. Garfield Camp No. 4, assisted with research in the preparation of this exhibit.
