Károly Zágonyi (19 October 1822 in Szinyérváralja, Hungary – around 1870) known in the U.S as Charles Zagonyi, was a former Hungarian military officer who served in the American Civil War as an aide to John C. Frémont and commander of his bodyguard at the rank of major, effective September 19, 1861.

Hungarian Revolution
Charles Zagonyi served originally as a first lieutenant in the Hungarian Revolutionary Army during the 1848-1849 revolt. General Josef Bem assigned him to lead a picked company of cavalry. In such capacity he saved Bem's life, was captured, and imprisoned for two years by the Austrians.

American Civil War
On July 2, 1851 Zagonyi arrived in the United States. He worked in New York and Philadelphia as a house painter. He served as a riding master in a Boston school operated by a fellow Hungarian émigré. Here he met and married a German-American lady by the name of Amanda Schweiger.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Zagonyi offered his services to New York, but was rejected. He was invited to Missouri by Alexander Asboth where he was introduced to General John C. Frémont. Frémont assigned him to create and command his personal bodyguard. Zagonyi's force was modeled on the well disciplined Hungarian Hussars. Zagonyi "personally selected the matched bay mounts" and designed the dark blue uniforms and hats of Hussar style. The men carried themselves proudly. They were equipped with German cavalry sabers and revolvers.


First Battle of Springfield or Zagonyi's Charge on October 25, 1861
On October 25, 1861, during the First Battle of Springfield, Zagonyi with 300 mounted men rashly charged into Springfield, Missouri, routing the Confederates. The charges proved costly in terms of casualties and the major lacked the forces to hold the city of the Union after dark. He withdrew, abandoning the city and his wounded to the secessionist forces. Zagonyi's charge would become famous, but his refusal to give credit to other attached forces alienated many fellow officers. Frémont's army would regain control of the town on October 27, and it would remain under Union control for the rest of the war.

Zagonyi was sidelined after Frémont was removed from command. Frémont's bodyguard was mustered out of service in November 1861 despite being three year volunteers.

Frémont was restored to command in the Shenandoah Valley as commander of the Mountain District encompassing West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and East Tennessee. Fremont again utilized Zagonyi as his cavalry commander, promoting him to colonel. Stonewall Jackson and his Confederates outmaneuvered and outfought Frémont's much larger force during the Valley Campaign. Following this final Frémont debacle, General John Pope was assigned to command all of the U.S. troops in northern Virginia. Frémont resigned rather than serve under Pope, and Zagonyi withdrew from service.

Postwar
Zagonyi returned to New York after the war and served as temporary president of the Hungarian Society there. In 1867 he attempted to return to Hungary, but lacked the money for the trip. A disputed 1871 article indicates he was the owner of a tobacco shop in Pest, Hungary. Another says he was never heard from again after 1867.

Zagonyi Park in Springfield, Missouri, is named for Zagonyi and his famous charge there. There is a marker in the park that describes the charge.

Károly Zágonyi ( na engleskom: Charles Zágonyi) ( Szinérváralja , 19. listopada 1822. - oko 1870. ) 1848. Prvi poručnik Nacionalne garde , pukovnik sjevernjaka u Američkom građanskom ratu , "Springfieldski heroj".

Karijera
Tijekom Domovinskog rata služio je kao husar u vojsci generala Józsefa Bema i svojim smjelim pothvatima dvaput spasio život svom generalu. Bio je ranjen u ruskom zarobljeništvu, odakle je pobjegao na Silvestrovo 1849. i otišao u Tursku , a zatim u Englesku.1851 . , emigrirao je u Ameriku na brodu "Devonshire" sa 40 mađarskih suputnika , gdje je radio kao slikar i trener konja do izbijanja građanskog rata , kada je ušao u vojsku i general John C. Frémont Također je služio pod Frémontom, Sándorom Asbóthom i Tivadarom Majthényijem , potonji pod zapovjedništvom Zágonyija.

Ime mu je 1861 . postala poznata u vezi s bitkom kod Springfielda 25. listopada (poznata i kao "Zágonyijev konjički juriš").

Springfield , Missouri , bio je važno uporište u rukama Juga, ca. Štitilo ga je 1700 vojnika. Zágonyi je dobio dopuštenje od generala Frémonta da napadne branitelje grada kako bi izazvao pomutnju. Dana 25. listopada 1861. okr. Straža od 200 vojnika slomila je otpor branitelja snažnim konjaničkim napadom i zauzela grad. Kao rezultat ove bitke nije oslobođen samo Springfield, već je i cijeli Missouri pao u ruke sjevernjaka, a pobjedi je posebnu važnost davala činjenica da su na početku građanskog rata južnjaci obično bili pobjednici. Američki tisak slavio je Zágonyijevu "smrtnu jurnjavu" i njegovu hrabrost.

Jessie Benton Frémont, supruga Zágonyijevog bivšeg zapovjednika, Johna C. Frémonta, napisala je povijest tjelohranitelja u pozamašnoj knjizi davne 1864. godine, kako bi prihod od knjige iskoristila za pomoć obiteljima otpuštenih vojnika. Osim opisa bojnika Williama Dorsheimera, ova se knjiga najdetaljnije sjeća Zágonyija. Čitav niz pjesnika i vojnih povjesničara posvetio se pisanju povijesti postrojbe Zágonyi.

Zágonyijeva smrtna vožnja ovjekovječena je u pjesmi Georgea Henryja Bokera (1823.-1890.), a 1870 -ih također je nacrtana za Bijelu kuću u Washingtonu .

A demonstration on October 23, 2018, in Budapest, for joining the European Public Prosecutor's Office and stopping corruption in Hungary. This was one of the first demonstrations of the unity of the Hungarian opposition, a tendency leading to several victories at the municipal elections a year later, then to the opposition primaries and the joint opposition campaign in 2022.
