Contributed by: Bob Doerr St. Louisan Lt. Col. Herman Zakrzewski led his men in a battle, probably Corinth or Rienzi. He was injured, however, when training the men in the use of the bayonet at Sullivan, Mo., Jan-Feb 1862; he was stuck in the face. He was the 2d U.S. Reserve Corps. Herman, my great-grandfather, of noble Polish ancestry, was born in Berlin in 1836 and died in St. Louis May 1908. He was a machinist by trade and was a partner in a machine shop. His sister was the famed Marie Elizabeth Zakrzewska, M.D. |
