The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor (Second Award) to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Frank Dwight Baldwin, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at McClellan’s Creek, Texas, on 8 November 1874. Lieutenant Baldwin rescued, with two companies, two white girls by a voluntary attack upon Indians whose superior numbers and strong position would have warranted delay for reinforcements, but which delay would have permitted the Indians to escape and kill their captives.
