Drummer, U.S. Army
Julian A. Scott was born in Johnson, Vermont, and served as a drummer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He is best remembered for his heroic actions during the Battle of Lee's Mills, where his bravery earned him the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
In addition to his distinguished military service, Scott was a noted American painter and Civil War artist. His firsthand experiences on the battlefield heavily influenced his artistic work, allowing him to capture the reality of the conflict with significant historical accuracy and detail.
Scott's legacy endures both through his military valor as a young drummer boy and his cultural contributions as an artist who preserved the visual history of the Civil War for future generations.
