(MILITARY--CIVIL WAR--PHOTOGRAPHY.) HOWARD, GENERAL OLIVER O. Carte-de-visite, photograph [with] a card of the same size.signed "oliver o. howard, brig. gen. u.s. army." Omaha, NE, 16 November 1885
A fine, crisp image of general howard, who fought at First Manassas, Seven Pines (lost an arm), Sharpsburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the Atlanta campaign. Having seen the enthusiasm of the newly freed slaves for education, Howard (1830-1909) worked tirelessly to establish a place of learning for them. The fruit of his labors was Howard University, for which he served as President from 1867 to 1873.
