Autobiography of General O.O. Howard - Signed, 1907

Item Details

Description

My Life And Experiences Among Our Hostile Indians: A Record of Personal Observations, Adventures, and Campaigns Among the Indians of the Great West with some account of their life habits, traits, religion, ceremonies, dress, savage instincts, and customs

By General Oliver Otis Howard

A. D. Worthington & Company. First edition, first printing with "Entered according to Act of Congress...1907" and no additional printings on the copyright page.

Rare, signed & inscribed: "To/Mrs. Frances M Chamberlain/with best wishes/for a happy Xmas/from her friend.../Oliver Otis Howard/Xmas...1907"

Illustrated with 36 Illustrations & 10 colored plates. All 10 colored plates are present.

Description: "An autobiography of General Howard's experiences, with Indians; before the Civil War, fought in Virginia during the Civil War, & then again in the various Indian wars after the Civil War collectively called the 'Indian Wars.' An encyclopedia of US Indian relations & wars from the Seminole War to Little Big Horn. Taken as a whole, this autobiography portrays Indian life and scenes with first hand fidelity to nature." Some of the portraits of noted Indian warriors were photographed many years ago in their absolutely wild state amid their native surroundings. Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909) was a career United States Army officer and a Union general in the American Civil War. As a brigade commander in the Army of the Potomac, Howard lost his right arm while leading his men against Confederate forces at the Battle of Fair Oaks/Seven Pines in June 1862, an action which later earned him the Medal of Honor. As a corps commander, he suffered two humiliating defeats at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg in May & July 1863, but recovered from the setbacks as a successful corps and later army commander in the Western Theater. Known as the "Christian general" because he tried to base his policy decisions on his deep religious piety, he was given charge of the Freedmen's Bureau in mid-1865, with the mission of integrating the freed slaves into Southern society and politics during the second phase of the Reconstruction Era. Howard was also a leader in promoting higher education for freedmen, most notably in founding of Howard University in Washington and serving as its president 1867-73. After 1874, Howard commanded troops in the West, conducting a famous campaign against the Nez Perce tribe. Robert Utley concludes that his leadership against the Apaches in 1872, against the Nez Perce in 1877, the Bannocks and Paiutes in 1878, and against the Sheep-eaters in 1879 all add up to a lengthy record, although he did not fight as much as George Custer and Nelson Miles.
