Always Aggressive This does not mean that Howard lacked aggressiveness. He was always eager to find the enemy and fight him. At Chancellorsville he voted to remain on the south side of the Rappahannock and fight it out with Lee's army; at Gettysburg he carried on an unequal struggle rather than withdraw in the face of-the enemy; at Williamsport he voted in a council of war against the majority to attack Lee.

Oliver Otis Howard, commissioner freedmen following the Civil War and a founder of Howard University i Washington, D.C., spent his last years in Burlington. A Howard biography, "Sword and Olive Branch" by John A. Carpenter (University of Pittsburgh Press, $6), describes in detail his work with Negroes during reconstruction in the South. In light of recent trends in civil rights, the book makes interesting reading.

Beginning today, The Burlington Free Press will run a three-part series from several chapters in the book. Born in Leeds, Maine, in 1830, Howard went to schools in that state and to Bowdoin College. He spent four years in college, and a fellow student was Custis, son of Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Custis never spoke to Howard. Slavery and anti-slavery tensions were rising. He led a Maine regiment into the Civil War. He took part in campaigns at Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the cutting up of Georgia and the Carolinas. He commanded an Army and was a brigadier general in the latter part of the war.

The book details his Civil War battles, the early loss of his right arm in battle, his West Point and Army training, but the chapters on the Freedmen's Bureau of the War Department are most significant. Portions of these chapters follow. tl DUSK includes three who have been part of tne expectations of those who framed the bureau teaching here and three who ancestor is welcome.
