Joseph “Fightin’ Joe” Wheeler was born in Georgia in 1836, and even though he lived most of his life with relatives in Connecticut, he always considered himself a Southerner. He was appointed to the USMA, and graduated in 1859, 19^th of 22. He received his 2^nd lieutenancy in Sept. 1860, and on April 26, 1861, resigned to join the Confederate forces, having already been offered a commission in the Confederate Army. He became colonel in September 1861, Brigadier General in Oct. 1862, Major General in Jan. 1863, and Lieut. General in Feb. 1865. He was given command of the cavalry of the Army of the Mississippi in July 1862, and spent most of the war fighting in the Western theater. Wheeler was one of the only generals opposing Sherman on his March to the Sea. He has been criticized in possibly inadvertently weakened Gen. John Bell Hood’s ability to defend Atlanta, and did not win any friends among Georgia civilians as he harassed Sherman’s army on its long trek across the state. (It is ironic that this order concerns military discipline, when, apparently, the men under his command had little other discipline when fighting through Georgia. One of the primary civilian complaints was lack of discipline of his men.) He tried to cover President Davis’ flight from Richmond and to reach the Western forces, still fighting after Lee’s surrender, but was captured along with several officers. He was imprisoned for two months before being paroled in June.
 
After the war, Wheeler became a cotton planter, lawyer and representative for the state of Alabama from 1880 – 1882, 1884 – 1900. He volunteered for the Spanish-American war, the only former Confederate General to do so. He was appointed Major General of Volunteers by William McKinley, a former Captain in the 23^rd Ohio Infantry, and for many symbolic of the reunification of the nation. He also received the permanent rank of Brig. General of the regular (U.S.) army, retiring by age in 1900.

Lot of 4. Includes Heinzen, Karl (1809-1880). Der Pionier. Boston: Vol. 11, Nos. 1 - 52 (1 Jan. 1864 - 21 Dec. 1864). Bound folio, in German. Although German-born, Heinzen spent a good deal of his adult life in the cause of reform, much of it fleeing from one "hot spot" to another. He came to the United States in 1848, but returned to Germany briefly to attempt to take advantage of the February revolution in France. In 1853 he settled in Louisville, KY where he founded Der Pionier, moving it to Boston in 1859. Heinzen and other radical Germans laid out their "Louisville Platform" in 1854 which denounced slavery, advocated equal rights for African-Americans and women, advocated free land for genuine settlers, easier access to citizenship, as well as reforms in education, the judicial and penal systems, among many others. The name of the paper was revived in 1911 by even more radical German Socialists; Heinzen was gone, but many of his ideas lived on. He has also been credited with a key role in the history of terrorist thought.

Ouray was the great leader of the Southern Ute during the 1860-80 period, when the tribe was overwhelmed by immigrant invaders in the mountains of western Colorado. Ouray distinguished himself in battles with the Ute's enemies, including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Kiowa. Ouray traveled to Washington, D.C. on two occasions. In 1880, President Rutherford B. Hayes met with Ouray and called him “the most intellectual man I’ve ever conversed with.” Upon his return from Washington, Ouray died near Ignacio, Colorado, on August 24, 1880, at the age of 60.
