Charles Melville

Charles Melville (1828 – January 5, 1867) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions at the Battle of Mobile Bay.
Born in 1828 in Dover, New Hampshire, Melville's birth name was James Ramsbottom.〔〔 He joined the Navy from his hometown of Dover and served during the Civil War as an ordinary seaman on Admiral David Farragut's flagship, the . At the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, he was wounded by an artillery shell but returned to his post manning one of ''Hartford's'' guns for the remainder of the battle. For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor four months later, on December 31, 1864.〔〔
Melville's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
On board the flagship U.S.S. ''Hartford'' during action against rebel gunboats, the ram ''Tennessee'', and Fort Morgan in Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864. Wounded and taken below to the surgeon when a shell burst between the two forward 9-inch guns, killing and wounding 15 men, Melville promptly returned to his gun on the deck and, although scarcely able to stand, refused to go below and continued to man his post throughout the remainder of the action resulting in the capture of the rebel ram ''Tennessee''.〔

Melville died on January 5, 1867, at age 38 or 39 and was buried in Rochester, New Hampshire.〔 His Medal of Honor is held by the National Museum of the United States Navy in Washington, D.C.〔
