Why is ISBN important? 18 used & new from Sword and Olive Branch: Oliver Otis Howard (The North's Civil War) From the Inside Flap Oliver Otis Howard devoted his life to the service of his country, both as a distinguished army officer in two wars and as the founder of two universities. Oliver Otis Howard was a graduate of Bowdoin College and of West Point. Being reared in a pious New England (Maine) atmosphere gave him a deep sense of obligation to lead a Christian life, for the good of others and for the development of his own best self. He was often disturbed by the conflict presented him in his dual career in peace and war.General Howard's strong sense of duty to his country brought about his distinguished career of command during the Civil War -- at the Battle of Chancellorsville, itself a disappointing rout, and at Gettysburg, where he recovered any reputation the earlier defeat might have lost him.
Under General Sherman in the Atlanta campaign and as a leader of the Army of the Tennessee he won special distinction. In total, Howard fought at the First Bull Run, Fair Oaks (where severe wounds forced the amputation of his right arm), Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.The same strong sense of duty made him accept the commission of the Freedmen's Bureau and the promotion of African-American education. Following his service in the Nez Perce Campaign of 1877 he was superintendent of West Point and the founder of Lincoln Memorial University. His greatest service to education, however, was as founder and president of Howard University, where his name and career are held in honor. John A. Carpenter served in the Navy during World War II. He is author of many articles in Scholarly journals. Browse the New York Times best sellers in popular categories like Fiction, Nonfiction, Picture Books and more.

I would highly recommend him to others.”He was considered a great tenant because he paid his rent months in advance. But this week Gordon Schwantner, 26, goes to court accused of converting a McHenry house into an elaborate marijuana factory.The ranch home was crammed with more than 1,500 plants in various stages of cultivation and valued at $1 million, authorities said.
The hothouse featured ventilation and irrigation systems, with so much heat escaping that it melted snow on the roof and formed "pot-cicles" hanging off the gutters, McHenry Police Sgt. Daniel Kreassig said.The icicles were "a greenish brown color and had THC in them," said Kreassig, adding that no one actually lived in the house on Homestead Drive.Meanwhile, homeowner Richard Matkovich was recovering from heart surgery 600 miles away in Olive Branch, Miss. He paid a real estate agent, he said, to oversee the property after moving out in August 2007.Matkovich charged $1,400 a month rent and thought everything was fine until a neighbor peeked inside the home after investigating an open garage door.Called to the scene on Jan. 18, police discovered 3-by-4-foot holes cut out of the first floor; ten 4-foot-tall florescent light fixtures; and a big tank of water in the basement with irrigation pumps.Schwantner of Fox Lake, released on $40,000 bond in February, goes to court for a status hearing Friday.
