of the medal worn by those who served with

Sheridan's Cavalry Corps - Army of the Potomac Cavalry Corps

After the disastrous Fredericksburg Campaign, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker took command of the Army of the Potomac. One of Hooker's positive contributions was in creating a unified cavalry command in April 1863. Other than at Antietam, where the cavalry had been combined into a single division for a planned (but unengaged) attack on Lee's center, the Union cavalry had not been unified to date. To his credit, Hooker organized three previously unrelated divisions into a single corps of cavalry, placing it under the unified command of George Stoneman. Hooker also began outfitting them with Sharps breech loading rifles, and, in a couple cases, with Spencer repeating rifles, giving them an advantage in firepower over the Confederates.  By the end of the war they were more then equal to anything the Confederate Army could mount!

The major feature of this extremely detailed medal are the meticulously recreated crossed Cavalry Sabers embedded on a blue enameled face and suspended from a Yellow ribbon just like the one show in the photographs of General Sherman attached to this listing. 

Originals of this medal would sell for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars IF you could find one.
