About this listen
Leander T. "Lee" Herron (December 29, 1846 - April 5, 1937) was a Corporal in the United States Army who, on September 2, 1868, while detailed as mail courier from Fort Larned to Fort Dodge in Kansas, voluntarily went to the assistance of a party of 4 enlisted men who had been attacked by 50 Indians, and remained with them until the party was relieved. Fifty-one years after his heroic actions, Herron received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest medal for valor. In this audio recording, Herron recalls the heroic event.
