Jeremiah Kuder was an American soldier who fought in the American Civil War. Serving with the U.S. Army, he rose to the rank of lieutenant and demonstrated exceptional bravery in combat. His actions during the pivotal Battle of Jonesborough would secure his place in American military history.
On September 1, 1864, during the Battle of Jonesborough, Kuder distinguished himself by capturing the enemy's flag. This act of conspicuous gallantry was highly valued during the Civil War, often involving intense hand-to-hand combat to seize the opposing unit's colors.
In recognition of his heroism, Kuder was awarded the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration. He was officially presented with the medal on April 7, 1865, shortly before the conclusion of the war, cementing his legacy as a Civil War hero.
