An extremely hard to find ribbon in very clean condition!  This ribbon was presented to members of the Ninth Corp in 1889 when they unveiled a monument to General Reno at South Mountain, Maryland.  This wonderful ribbon has the Ninth Corp badge in the middle of the ribbon.  Written on the ribbon is "Unveiling of Reno Memorial - South Mountain - Sept. 14, 1889".  The ribbon has a blue tint in my scans but is actually beige color.  These monument ribbons and badges are getting as scarce as hen's teeth.  Don't miss this one.

 

Reno had a reputation as a "soldier's soldier" and often was right beside his troops without a sword or any sign of rank.  On September 12, 1862, Reno's IX Corps spent the day in Frederick, Maryland. Two days later, while he was stopped directly in front of his troops as he reconnoitered the enemy's forces at Fox's Gap at the Battle of South Mountain, Reno was hit in the chest by a Confederate sharpshooter's bullet. He was brought by stretcher to Brig. Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis's command post and said in a clear voice, "Hallo, Sam, I'm dead!" Sturgis thought that he sounded so natural that he must be joking and told Reno that he hoped it was not as bad as all that. Reno repeated, "Yes, yes, I'm dead—good-by!", dying a few minutes later.  In his official report, D. H. Hill sarcastically remarked, "The Yankees on their side lost General Reno, a renegade Virginian, who was killed by a happy shot from the Twenty-third North Carolina
