From the 'Jewish-American U.S. Civil War Veterans' web page.
This database is taken
from an 1895 directory published by Simon Wolf, entitled The American Jew
as Patriot, Soldier and Citizen (Philadelphia: The Levytype Company, 1895).
576 pages.
Simon Wolf (1836-1923),
in response to rising anti-Semitism in the United States and Europe, and
particularly to the Dreyfus case, wished to refute aspersions on the patriotism
of Jewish-Americans.
The American Jew as Patriot,
Soldier and Citizen is an index, by state, of Jewish veterans of both the
Union and Confederate armies, and includes each man's name, rank, regiment,
branch of service (infantry, cavalry, artillery), status (if wounded, captured
or killed) and some brief biographical information if the veteran had been
commended for bravery or other meritorious conduct.
By placing Simon Wolf's
directory into electronic format, my original intention was to enable searches
and sorts by field in order to help my historical Civil War research, i.e.
how many Jewish soldiers were wounded at Gettysburg, how many were imprisoned
at Andersonville, and so on. However, its use in JewishGen is to provide
genealogical researchers a means to identify ancestors who may have fought
in the Union or Confederate armies. The JewishGen search engine will allow
a "sound alike" (Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex) search for similar names.
This database is not
intended to be a full or comprehensive listing of all Jewish soldiers who
fought in the Civil War. It was compiled in 1895, 30 years after the war
ended, at a time when there were no telephones or mass communication other
than newspapers. Therefore many Jewish veterans may have been unaware of
Simon Wolf's efforts. Many veterans had passed away during those 30 years,
as well as many who returned to Europe. Independent research has come up
with about 100 names not in Simon Wolf's original list, and it is estimated
there were about 10,000 Jewish-American servicemen on both sides of the
Civil War. The current database contains over 7250 records.
