These nightly "fixes" are getting a little annoying. Some things can be gotten from context - I find it doubtful that any of Cromwell's old soldiers went on to go out West and fight the Nez Perce. Hephaestos 05:07 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of Howard and Tom Jeffords' dealings and 1872 treaty with Cochise? — TAnthony^Talk 18:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a wikipedia contributor, but I thought this info might be an addition to this page on Oliver Otis Howard. Apparently he was a first cousin to Frances Perkins' grandmother, thus making him a third cousin to Frances herself. Elisabeth L. Daley eldaley@gmail.com info is from https://francesperkinscenter.org/life-new/ 98.118.61.234 (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oliver Otis Howard did not suffer a defeat at Gettysburg. His decision making on July 1, 1863, was critical to the Union victory. And this article's summary of the Nez Perce War is irresponsible. 2601:982:8300:FC0:B9A1:F1BA:24D2:8333 (talk) 20:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
