Would You have a picture where it is easier to identify, I mean, not just the ribbon, but the medal itself?
Knowing when the picture was taken might be useful. too. If it is post-ACW, my WAG would be some GAR-leadership-medal or simply the GAR Veterans Cross (which was actually a five-pointed star).
But on the other hand, Sherman would have been entitled to a GAR Serving Officers Cross, which sported the stars and stripes for a ribbon, So maybe I'm completely of the mark here...
