  Well, June 28 was his b'day but I'm sure you know that and what follows - we all have Google. He lived in Boston and died there 6 years before this medal. Same year of this 1896 piece, a bronze sculpture was made featuring him. Hopefully others with more relevant information will chime in.

  This ought to help? That is the sculpture ON the Reverse - the one from 1896 I mentioned! They are related. I did not want to speculate. I looked again at the Wicki page I read before and there it is.

  Edited again to add - I should have read the inscription - dopey me! LOL sorry. Someone ought to have more information.
