Pierre Leon
Pierre Leon (August 23, 1838 – December 7, 1915) was a Captain of the Forecastle in the Union Navy and a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions in the American Civil War. ==Early life and military service== Leon was born in Nice on 23 August 1838. At age eleven, he stowed away on a ship bound to Philadelphia. He served on several coastal steamers until 1860, when he became involved in the development of the ''Alligator'', an experimental submarine. Leon joined the US Navy from Philadelphia in August 1861. He served on no less than 8 different ships, including the ''USS Baron De Kalb'', before his discharge exactly four years later. 〔(NJ Medal of Honor recipients )〕
