Of Vision and Valor: General Oliver O. Howard - a Biography Gerald Weland / Hardcover / Daring Books / January 1991 Format: Hardcover, 200pp. ISBN: 0938936999 Publisher: Daring Books Pub. Date: January 1999 ABOUT THE BOOK From Library Journal The little known Oliver O. Howard--who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for his leadership in the Civil War , served on the Freedman's Bureau and as a negotiator with the Indians, and founded Howard and Lincoln universities--is studied here in a biography which uses his vision of a better society to describe his actions. The book adds to the scholarship available in John S. Carpenter's Sword and Olive Branch (o.p.) and William S.McFeely's Yankee Stepfather (Norton, 1983), but too much attention is given to Howard's military career; more information on the Freedman's Bureau, Howard's interest in education, and the religious beliefs that earned him the nickname ``Christian General'' would have been useful. For libraries with strong Civil War or military collections.-- Danna C. Bell, Marymount Univ. Lib., Arlington,Va. |
