Re: Congressional Gold Medal Awarded to Confederat

Best I can tell, this award probably saw only one receipitent

Albert Henry Woolson (February 11, 1850 – August 2, 1956) was the last known surviving[1] member of the Union Army who served in the American Civil War; he was also the last surviving Civil War veteran on either side whose status is undisputed. At least three men who followed him in death claimed to be Confederate veterans, but one has been debunked and the other two are unverified.
