Description
This mid 19th century US Military History photo features Brigadier General Albert J. Myer, founder of the Signal Corps, who developed a system of visual communications that could be transmitted by a flag or a torch. With the outbreak of the American Civil War, Myer was appointed as the first Signal Officer in the U.S. Army with the rank of major, and his Signal Department was fortified by detailed personnel until March 1863, when Congress authorized a regular U.S. Signal Corps for the duration of the war.
