Theodore Schwan (July 9, 1841 – May 27, 1926) was a Union Army officer during the American Civil War who received the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Peebles' Farm. He also served with distinction during the Spanish–American and Philippine–American Wars.
==Early life and Civil War==
Schwan was born in Hanover, Germany, and received his initial schooling in Germany. He immigrated to the United States in 1857, arriving at New York on 30 May 1857 on the sailing ship Ariel.〔CastleGarden.org〕 Two weeks later, Schwan enlisted as a Private in the Regular Army, four weeks before his 16th birthday, and served in the 10th U.S. Infantry.〔1857 US Army Enlistments, Ancestry.com〕
When the Civil War broke out, he served with his regiment, rising from Private to Quartermaster sergeant by October 1863, when he was commissioned as a Second lieutenant. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in 1864 and received the Medal of Honor at the Battle of Peebles' Farm for dragging a wounded Union officer to the rear and preventing him from being captured.
