Best Answer

It should be the private Truman Head, nicknamed "California Joe "Old Californy".

He fought as member of the 1st Regiment of Berdan's Sharpshooters through McClellan Peninsula Campaign of 1862.

His military career was a short one, because his health of past middle age man failed, affecting his eyes.

He was honorably discharged from the Union Army on November 3, 1862.

Who was the antagonist in the sniper?

There are 2. the other sniper is one of them and the war is another. of course the other sniper is the antagonist because he and the sniper are fighting against each other but the reason why the Irish Civil War is also the antagonist is because the war is basically causing the problem. is there were no war, then no one would die from the war like the other sniper (the sniper's brother whom he had killed.) Hope this helps
