Talk:James A. Stahle

Comment
The Ellsworth Zouaves were a New York regiment, which spurred others such as Stahle to create "Ellsworth Zoauve" companies of their own. Note that the term "Ellsworth Zouave" was used as a description of the type of unit (young men of wealthy families who could afford the elaborate uniforms and who devoted themselves to fancy drill demonstrations), and were not actually part of the Zouaves raised by Ellsworth himself in New York.
