The Davis Guards Medal was a military award presented by the citizens of Houston to each of the participants a few weeks after the battle of Sabine Pass (September 8, 1863). Father Quesart, in charge of the Catholic Church in Houston during the American Civil War, started the project by popular subscription.
These hand-engraved medals are the only medals known to be presented to Confederate soldiers during the Civil War,.[1]
