The Story Behind "Jenny" the Drummer Boy's Medal of Honor

Johann Christoph Julius Langbein, a 15-year-old drummer boy, was a colorful character in a colorful regiment—the 9th New York Infantry, popularly known at Hawkins' Zouaves for its colonel, Rush Hawkins. Young Langbein, nicknamed Jenny for his girlish looks, was an old soul at heart. Two stories illustrate his unique character—one of them led to him receiving the Medal of Honor.
