Civil War Hero's 'Priceless' Medal of Honor Donated to Dighton

Dighton Civil War Medal of Honor: Bridge named for Frederick Anderson

DIGHTON The town has honored a Civil War hero who is buried at the Community Church cemetery by rededicating the Elm Street bridge as the Pvt. Frederick C. Anderson Memorial Bridge,  and his descendants, in a sense, have returned the favor. Anderson was the first soldier ever to be awarded a Medal of Honor after he valiantly and in close combat captured the flag of the 27th South Carolina Infantry Regiment and its flag bearer during the Battle of Globe Tavern. His actions that day effectively suspended the Confederate regiment s ability to communicate with the rest of its troops and turned the battle in favor of the Union Army by retaking the Weldon Railroad.
