This is a wonderful story! I am a in-depth US Civil War enthusiast that has read and studied countless books on the subject, & visited 8 different battlefields. But through all that exposure I was completely ignorant of a story like this. Thank you so much for informing me and correcting my ignorance. Keep up the good work! What a remarkable man Mohammed Kahn was!!!
Thank you for an enlightening biography of an American veteran and hero. He definitely needs to have a book written about him on an adult level and another book written on the upper elementary level. It’s well past time for our country to recognize and celebrate the ethnic, cultural, religious and racial diversity that has been the foundation and the strength of the United States since we outsiders invaded and settled the land of the original American nations.
Thank you for this remarkable story of a Civil War hero. My great, great uncle died in the Battle of Gettysburg, also a NY soldier from nearby CT. His grave is in our family cemetery - a carved draped flag column with his military rank and unit. We are all one people and we need to recognize differences as plusses, not divisions. I have known many immigrants and 2nd gen immigrants who have as deep a reverence for our country as the native born. How about we work on acceptance and not exclusion, hate and fear?
It is time for Multiculturalism is the coexistence, acceptance, and promotion of diverse cultural, ethnic, racial, and religious groups within a single society or nation. I say, I love Muslims all people, what the hell is wrong, The other nation's do it and it is great, we all get along!
Truly remarkable and inspirational. Always looking for information to promote inclusive multicultualism.

Thank you! Every time I hear Islamophobia, I remind people that Muslims have been in rhis country since 1619.
Our founding fathers knew of them, some read the Quran and even mentiomed them often, and cemented their acceptance in the Tripoli Treaty.
I hope you will find the time and opportunity to write his biography. Perhaps as a young adult book to be used in schools.
In really like that idea!
Important to know, educational, and inspiring. My great-grandfather was a sharpshooter and fought at Gettysburg. I wonder if he and Private Kahn net——

I did not know this, Qasim! Thank you for highlighting this very important part of American history.
Thanks for finding a fascinating bit of obscure history for me to pour over on Veterans Day.
