This was engraved by William Barber,
father Of the present chief engraver Of the
mint at Philadelphia. 1t is a costly as
we'll as handsome souvenir, being listed
at $ in bronze. There are in existence
two impressions OF the Field medal in
gold. The medal intended for presenta-
ton to Mr.. Field was forwarded to Wash
ington for the inspection of President
Johnson. and in some way was returned
to the treasury without the knowledge Of
the custodian. Then It was lost and an
other had to be struck. Subsequently,
some years later, the original turned up.

directors and superintendent at prices

The gold medal given to Major Henry
Lee Gight Horse Harry for his gal
lantry in attacking the British troops at
Fort Paulus Hook, September "A, l77s Csize
29), is probably the only medal awarded
by congress during the Revolutionary
period that was the work of an Amer
lean e~ngraver. This was Joseph Wright,
one Of the earliest OF the United States
engravers and the first dieslnker OF the
United States mint. He also made the
dies for what is declared to be the best
metallic portrait OF Washington ever ex-
ecuted.
Among other medals given to soldiers
and sailors OF the revolutionary war may
be mentioned Major General Gates, for the
surrender Of Burgoyne; John Paul Jones,
for the Scraps, and General Daniel Nor
gan, for the battle OF Cowpens.
A medal with an interesting history was
