General Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909) fought in the Army of the Potomac, in which he lost his right arm. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism at Fair Oaks. Howard was appointed Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau after the War; in 1867, he played a part in the founding of Howard University--a historically black university. General Nelson Appleton Miles (1839-1925) was also a Medal of Honor recipient during the Civil War. He went on to play a major roll in the Indian Wars. He finally retired at age 64, in 1903.
