Item Details
Description
A Paint Decorated Wooden Sled
Late 19th Century
wooden seat painted red with a white floral motif and Gen. Howard in white letters at center, and runners painted a blue/green.  
Length 36 x width 16 inches.

Though the exact identity of "Gen. Howard" is uncertain, it may refer to Union General and Medal of Honor recipient Oliver O. Howard (1830-1909). Howard lost his arm while serving as a brigade commander in the Army of the Potomac, and later was a commander in the Western Theater. He is perhaps most recognized for his efforts to lead the Freedmen's Bureau which came under his charge in 1865.


Condition
Heavy wear with alterations and repairs, including a new runner, and vertical split in wood spanning the entire seat.
