| | Tilghman, Howard Biography |
 | | The term "Christian statesman" is so often applied to men who prostitute public office for private gain as almost to become a synonym of hypocrite; but that it may be applied to Tilghman A. Howard in its literal sense, those who read this sketch will see. |
 | | Although General Howard never attended an academy or a college, he was a very learned man. He was acquainted with the civil law, with theology, history, politics, geology, mineralogy, botany, philosophy, and the occult sciences. |
 | | Tilghman Ashurst Howard was born on the Saluda river, near Pickensviile, South Carolina, November 14, 1797. |
