  Having already served as a member of the 7th New York National Guard prior to the outbreak of war, Edward Jardine enlisted as a captain, mustering into Company G of the 9th New York Infantry Regiment, "Hawkins' Zouaves," on 4 May 1861. Having helped recruit the company, Jardine jumped straight into the fray, engaging at the Battle of Big Bethel the following month and at Forts Hatteras and Clark that August. For his commendable service, Jardine was promoted to the rank of major on 14 February 1862 and was shortly thereafter wounded at the Battle of South Mills in Camden, NC. Upon recovering, Jardine joined the 89th New York and co-commanded that regiment in battles at South Mountain and Antietam before rejoining the "Hawkins' Zouaves" for the engagement at Fredericksburg in December of 1862 and at Suffolk in April and May of the following year.
  
  After receiving a promotion to lieutenant colonel, Jardine was given permission to reorganize the 9th New York Infantry Regiment on 29 May 1863, nine days after the regiment had mustered out of service. He led recruits to put down the Draft Riots afflicting the city of New York in July of 1863 and was severely wounded and nearly killed by the angry mob. Though he did escape death, the wounds he received affected the remainder of his military career and plagued him for the rest of his life. He was discharged from a brief stint of service as a lieutenant colonel of the 17th New York regiment and transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps in May of 1864, where he served as a captain for the remainder of the war, and in which capacity he was brevetted a brigadier general in November of 1865. After the war, Jardine held several important positions in both the private and public sectors, including numerous leadership roles in the Grand Army of the Republic such as Department of New York Commander (1874) and National Senior Vice Commander (1875). He passed in 1893 after having endured nine operations on his injured leg.
