Alfred Mordecai
Alfred Mordecai (January 3, 1804 – October 23, 1887) was an American army officer. He contributed to United States' military development through his research and writing, particularly in the area of
artillery. He was instrumental in the United States' adoption of the
M1857 12-pounder Napoleon. Mordecai served in a number of diplomatic missions for his country, but resigned at the start of the
Civil War rather than fight for either side. He was one the first
Jewish Americans to choose the army as a career.
