Otto Emil Voit (February 5, 1845 – June 1, 1906) was a German-born immigrant and United States Army soldier who earned the nation's highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for extraordinary bravery during the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. His life traces a remarkable path: from an orphaned teenager emigrating from Freiburg, Germany, to a skilled saddler in the frontier cavalry, through decades of service marked by both hardship and heroism, to quiet retirement in Louisville, Kentucky.
