Angebote / Angebote:
Henry Martyn Lazelle (1832-1917) was the only cadet in the history of the US Military Academy to be suspended and sent back a year and eventually return as Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. After graduating from West Point, he scouted with Kit Carson, was wounded by Apaches, and spent nearly a year as a "paroled” prisoner-of-war at the outbreak of the Civil War. As Commandant of Cadets, he was a key figure during the infamous court martial of Johnson Whittaker, one of West Point's first African American cadets.
