About This Book

This work surveys the participation of Jewish citizens in the nation’s public life from the colonial period through the nineteenth century, arguing their sustained patriotism and civic contributions. It combines narrative sketches, documentary correspondence, and thematic essays with extensive rosters, unit lists, and honors to document military service in multiple conflicts and in regular services. Additional chapters examine communal leadership in civil society, patterns of migration and refugee relief, and abuses suffered abroad. Appendices and statistical summaries, together with addenda and an index, are provided to support the compilation’s evidentiary aims.

Davidson, Solomon  1st Cavalry

An officer of distinction made the following remarks concerning this gallant soldier:

"Personally I know several Hebrews who served in the California regiments known as the 'California Column' but in the long years that have elapsed I have forgotten their names. They were all good, faithful soldiers to the flag they enlisted to defend. One I remember, by name, Solomon Davidson. Comrade Davidson belonged to a cavalry regiment; I think it was the 1st California, ordered for service in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. That regiment has seen more hard service in the saddle than any other I know of wearing Uncle Sam's uniform. Comrade Davidson was a brave man, carrying dispatches and orders from one part of the command to another, regardless of storms and dangers of Indian ambush so often to be encountered in the Territories. Davidson was a loyal, gallant soldier, and I am glad to be able to say this much for our old Jewish comrades in arms. We knew no distinction on account of birth or religion in the army, but we loved all loyal men who gave their lives to the government in the hour of its need. Let me in conclusion express my conviction that a comparison of services will not be determined detrimentally to our Hebrew comrades."
