I'm coloring a portrait of Frederick Knefler, the highest-ranking union officer of Jewish descent during the Civil War. The portrait is from the early 1900s and he is wearing these three medals. I'm having a hard time finding the uncolored one...and the one on the right.

Following the Civil War, Thomas Meagher was appointed Acting Governor of the Montana Territory. In 1867, he drowned in the Missouri River after falling from a steamboat at Fort Benton. One theory suggests he may have been murdered by political opponents. @DiscoverIreland
