Leopold Karpeles (1838–1909) was a flagbearer in the Union Army who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the American Civil War. ==Biography== Born in Prague to a Jewish family, Karpeles moved to Galveston, Texas at age 11 with his older brother Emil. In 1861, differing views with his brother on slavery and secession led to Leopold moving to Springfield, Massachusetts. Karpeles joined the 46th Massachusetts Infantry in August 1862, and mustered out with this regiment in July 1863. After briefly working as a clerk, he joined the 57th Massachusetts Infantry in the spring of 1864. He was seriously wounded at the Battle of North Anna, and was discharged in May 1865. 〔(Texas Handbook Online )〕 Karpeles received the Medal of Honor in April 1870 for rallying retreating troops, inducing them to check the enemy's advance while under heavy fire on May 6, 1864, during the Battle of the Wilderness.
