<mask>  (9 December 1924 – 26 March 2016) was a British international relations specialist known for his work on Cold War geopolitics and Soviet naval strategy. A former Royal Navy commander, he was Professor of Maritime and Strategic Studies at Dalhousie University in Canada and then a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. He was a well-known critic of nuclear deterrence theory. Early life
<mask> grew up in British India, where his father worked for Burmah Oil Company until the 1929–34 depression. The family then moved via Lausanne, Switzerland, to settle in Swanage in England. He attended the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, from age 13 and graduated top of his term in 1942, winning the King's Dirk which was presented to him by George VI. In May that year 17-year-old MccGwire went to sea as a midshipman, by which time half of the Dartmouth term who had graduated a year earlier had already lost their lives.In August he was on  (a battleship famous for its role in the Bismarck sinking) when it took part in the celebrated Malta relief convoy named Operation Pedestal, in which 13 British ships were sunk but the oil tanker  made it through. Having been involved in the North African, Sicilian and then Normandy landings, he then moved to Motor Torpedo Boats, joining MTB 476 of the 30th MTB Flotilla as a First Lieutenant. In the year that they were together, these nine MTBs sank six German vessels and damaged another 12 off the coasts of France, the Netherlands and Belgium. The high speed boats each had three super-charged Merlin engines – the same as used in the Spitfires, running on high octane fuel. MTBs attacked at close quarters at night, with double-skin mahogany hulls that did little to protect the crew or fuel from gunfire. The 30th Flotilla was a close-knit group of men, many of whom stayed in touch until the end of their lives. At the end of WWII <mask> was on a British destroyer in the Pacific.Then in 1946-47 he moved to a frigate in the Mediterranean, , on the Palestine Patrol, which involved leading boarding parties and taking control of the ships that were illegally carrying Jewish immigrants to Palestine. In September that year the Royal Navy sent <mask> to Downing College, Cambridge, to learn Russian along with seven others, including the later defector George Blake. He then returned to sea as a navigator in the Arctic, with the UK's Fisheries Protection around Norway – adjacent to the Soviet Northern Fleet. Then in 1951 <mask> was loaned to the Australian Navy in a training role. Naval intelligence
In 1952 <mask> joined GCHQ to develop naval intelligence on the Soviet Navy, then returned to sea, and in 1956-58 served as an assistant naval attaché at the British embassy in Moscow, accompanied by his family. Under constant surveillance, he still managed to travel within the USSR and provided various military intelligence before modern satellite data was available. He also started building up his knowledge of Soviet geopolitics.Promoted to commander on 31 December 1958, he undertook further study in the UK and USA. As a 'war planner' he worked in the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT) in the US. It was his time in the US, working on a multi-national staff, that opened <mask>'s eyes to what one can achieve when unconstrained by deeply ingrained service deference and loyalties. At that point he realised that he wanted to join an international organisation such as the UN. But before leaving the Royal Navy, <mask> wanted to head up the Soviet Naval Intelligence Section in the British Defence Intelligence Staff, which he felt needed serious restructuring. The UK was twenty years into the Cold War, yet when he got this job <mask> was the first head of the section to know the language, to have worked in Russia, to have had experience of another agency and to be well acquainted with the Americans. He completely reshaped the intelligence effort to ask new questions.His aim was not simply to assess the military threat – how many ships the Soviets had – but to understand what the Soviet Navy was for. It was for his contribution to British naval intelligence that <mask> received his OBE in the 1968 New Year Honours. In the words of his successor as Head of the Soviet Naval Intelligence Section, Commander Peter Kimm, "it is my sincere belief that he [<mask>] has succeeded in contributing something tangible to the security of the country and to the stability of the world in a way which is not given to many of us to do." Academic career
His colleagues were surprised when <mask> quit his promising naval career and retired in 1967 aged 42, having just been told that a promotion to Captain was imminent. His aim was to work in the Third World as a Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme, and the first requirement was to have a degree, so he became an undergraduate student in International Politics and Economics at University of Wales, Aberystwyth. While at Aberystwyth he also started and ran the Interstate Journal of International Affairs, wrote a book on the Soviet Navy for the UK's Institute of Strategic Studies, spoke at numerous specialist conferences on this subject, and "in spite of his age, he experienced no difficulty in slipping into college life as a popular, if slightly formidable figure". A new national quota system thwarted <mask>'s hopes of joining the UN.After a year as a lecturer in the postgraduate Strategic Studies programme at University of Wales, Aberystwyth, in 1970 he became Professor of Maritime and Strategic Studies at Dalhousie University, Canada, a post gained on the basis of his experience and previous publications. He stayed there until 1979, publishing three edited books and playing the leading role in founding the modern study of Soviet naval power. In 1979 he became a Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institution, a highly respected think-tank in Washington DC, USA. It was here, at a time when the 'second Cold War' was underway, that MccGwire wrote Military Objectives in Soviet Foreign Policy. This was a seminal work, as it focused on the Soviet viewpoint and way of thinking, based on extensive analysis of Russian sources of information; whereas Soviet policy was usually analysed in terms of Western interests and vulnerabilities. It was published in January 1987, the same month as Gorbachev's speech to the Communist Party (CPSU) Plenum pushing glasnost and perestroika. The book traces the causes of this monumental reorientation of Soviet policy back to the bankruptcy of established Soviet policies, autonomous new rethinking, and concern about the danger of war, explaining the influence of military requirements on Soviet foreign policy.In January 1991, a year after the Berlin Wall came down, Brookings published <mask>'s follow-up book Perestroika and Soviet National Security, in which he was able to explain what led to perestroika and the resulting implications for future relations with Russia. Furthermore, whereas so many commentators assumed that perestroika was a direct result of the confrontational policies of the Reagan administration during the 1980s, <mask> argued that Reagan almost certainly delayed the process. <mask> semi-retired in 1990, joining the University of Cambridge as a visiting professor for three years in their Global Security Programme. At Cambridge, he enlarged the terrain of security studies to include economic and social development, and environmental sustainability, while continuing to argue for an end to nuclear deterrents. In 2006 <mask> participated in the national debate on whether to replace the UK Trident submarines, debating the matter at the Royal Institute of International Affairs with <mask> and others, and to which the July 2006 issue of International Affairs was devoted. He continued publishing and commenting on world affairs. Understanding Soviet strategy
MccGwire was best known for the 'MccGwire thesis': that the Soviet military buildup during the Cold War was largely due to fear of attack, and was thus a defensive measure.He confirms this with extensive empirical analysis of military strategy, and by querying political motivations. He strongly challenged the prevailing Cold War view that Moscow was planning pre-emptive military aggression against the West. This view, he said, had been based on preconceptions, inadequate analysis and poor understanding of Soviet policy-making by Western intelligence, and could have had severe repercussions. His first article in the Naval Review argued against Britain's nuclear deterrent for this reason, and many other articles and two books later followed. For example, he argued that the type of armaments added to Soviet vessels in the 1950s showed that they were added to protect trade routes. MccGwire developed 'objectives analysis' to track changes in military hardware and strategy, based on painstaking analysis of personnel, equipment and geopolitical intentions. Despite this, the British and USA military never fully accepted the 'MccGwire thesis' as it became known.At Brookings, he challenged the Reagan military build-up as provocative and unnecessary. He was a frequent public commentator, including a televised debate against the leading neoconservative Richard Perle. He identified a tipping point in Soviet strategy: from studying Soviet military writings and identifying changes in Soviet deployment of military forces, he identified 1966 as the start of a shift away from the 1950s Soviet assumption that war would inevitably lead to an all-out nuclear exchange. By 1987, the threat of global war became downgraded and armed forces withdrew from Eastern Europe. At this point in time, prevention of global warfare became the primary aim in Moscow, where Gorbachev wanted to defuse tensions and downgrade military spending. In sum, <mask> believed the end of the Cold War was due to Soviet initiatives rather than the manoeuvring of the Western powers. Personal life

Michail Jurjevič Hraboŭski (Belarusian: Міхаіл Юр'евiч Грабоўскі; born 31 January 1984), better known as <mask> (Russian: Михаил Грабовский), is a German-born Belarusian professional ice hockey coach and former player. Grabovski currently serves as an assistant coach for HC Dinamo Minsk in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Prior to his coaching career, Grabovski played as a centre in the National Hockey League (NHL) for 10 seasons. Early life
<mask> was born in Potsdam, East Germany, where his father, Yury, worked in construction for the Soviet military. The family returned to their native Belarus (then a Soviet Socialist Republic) when he was three years old. Playing career
<mask> was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens 150th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and played his first NHL game with Montreal on 6 January 2007 against the New York Rangers. He played three games in the NHL before being sent back down to Montreal's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs.He helped them win the Calder Cup as AHL champions in the 2006–07 season. <mask> was called up to play in a few games with the Canadiens during the 2007–08 season but did not see much playing time due to his low position on the team's depth chart. <mask> recorded his first NHL assist on 20 October 2007, against the Buffalo Sabres and his first goal two days later against the Boston Bruins. On 3 July 2008, <mask> was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for the draft rights to Greg Pateryn and a second-round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. As a 25-year-old, Grabovski went on to finish his first full season in Toronto with 20 goals and 48 points, leading all NHL Eastern Conference rookies in scoring. The Maple Leafs rewarded Grabovski for his rookie season performance by re-signing him to a three-year, $8.7 million contract carrying an average annual cap hit of $2.9 million. His 58 points in the 2010–11 season was the highest among Maple Leaf centres since Mats Sundin's 78 points in the 2007–08 season.On 6 March 2012, Toronto re-signed <mask> to a five-year, $27.5 million contract carrying an average annual cap hit of $5.5 million. On 25 September 2012, due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout that cancelled the first three months of the 2012–13 NHL season, Grabovski signed with CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). When NHL play returned, following a 2012–13 season in which he recorded only 9 goals and 16 points in 48 games, on 4 July 2013, <mask> was unexpectedly placed on waivers and listed to be bought-out by the Maple Leafs. On 23 August 2013, as a free agent following his buy-out, Grabovski signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Washington Capitals. In his first regular season game with the Capitals on 1 October 2013, Grabovski scored a hat-trick in a 6–4 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. <mask> completed the 2013–14 season with a respectable 35 points in 58 games as the Capitals failed to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in seven seasons. On 2 July 2014, as a free agent, Grabovski signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the New York Islanders.His tenure with the Islanders was largely affected by injury, with a lingering concussion ruling him out for the entirety of the 2016–17 season. Grabovski joined the Islanders along with his Maple Leafs linemate and friend Nikolay Kulemin, making it known to teams during free agency that they wanted to sign together. On 21 June 2017, the Vegas Golden Knights selected Jean-François Bérubé from the Islanders in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. Berube was selected with the condition that <mask>'s final year of contract be traded to the Golden Knights along with a first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and prospect Jake Bischoff. On 14 September 2017, Grabovski attended his physical for the Vegas Golden Knights with the desire to play for the team. However, he did not appear in a single game for the Golden Knights. In June 2019, Grabovski announced his retirement, stating "I decided for myself that staying at home is not the best option.I need to do something. As a player I can no longer participate in games, so I want to try myself as a coach." Coaching career
On June 15, 2019, <mask> was announced as an assistant coach with HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL. Controversies
In March 2008, after being a healthy scratch for a game against the Phoenix Coyotes, Grabovski left the Montreal Canadiens and flew to Los Angeles to consult with his agent. The incident prompted his trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs that summer. In January 2009, Grabovski was involved a scuffle with fellow Belarusian Sergei Kostitsyn during a game between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. The two had been in a feud since Grabovski's days with the Canadiens.Prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the head of the Belarusian national hockey program had to intervene in order for the two players to be able to coexist on the same team. On 19 February 2010, <mask> was arrested in Vancouver after becoming involved in a street scuffle. He was out of the Maple Leafs lineup with a broken wrist at the time of the arrest and was in Vancouver attending the 2010 Winter Olympics. Court documents alleged that Dylan Richardson was punched in the face and knocked unconscious by Grabovski, who then assaulted Richardson's wife by also punching her in the face. Grabovski inadvertently ended Chris Pronger's career when he accidentally hit him in the side of the eye with his stick. On 9 February 2013, Grabovski was accused of biting Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens during a scrum along the boards. The NHL conducted a telephone hearing with the players involved, but could not determine conclusively if Grabovski had indeed bitten Pacioretty.However, on 20 May 2013, more than three months later, Grabovski admitted that he did bite Pacioretty, stating in an interview, "He was choking me and I bit him. Don't stick your hands where you shouldn't." On 3 July 2013, after learning that his contract was being bought-out by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Grabovski was very critical of Toronto's head coach at the time, Randy Carlyle, in an expletive-filled interview with TSN. "I play in the fucking Russian KHL, I make lots of fucking points and what's going to happen? He make me fucking play on the fourth line and he put me in the playoffs on the fourth line and third line again," said Grabovski. "I don't feel any support from this fucking idiot." Some controversy on Grabovski's nationality was discussed on the 7 February 2020 edition of the Toronto-based OverDrive sports radio show.<mask> is known to be Belarusian despite the fact he was born in Germany; hosts Brian Hayes and Jeff O'Neill debated whether he should be considered of German descent, in regards to how many German nationals have played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. For the sake of the argument, <mask> is indeed Belarusian, and should not be considered German. International play

<mask> has represented Belarus in international play. He scored four goals and was the first star in one game (against tournament hosts Austria) in the 2005 IIHF World Championship. <mask> was selected to play for his country at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. However, he did not play due to injury. However, a few months later, he participated in the 2010 IIHF World Championship for Belarus.<mask> was named captain of Belarus's roster on the eve of 2011 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia. In total, <mask> has played in seven major international tournaments for Belarus. Personal life
<mask> and his wife Kate Van Alstyne had their first child, a daughter, on 30 December 2010. He missed the Maple Leafs' game against the Columbus Blue Jackets that night to be present at the birth. They had their second child, a son, on 6 December 2011. <mask> and his wife called their son Jagger after The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. A third child was born 13 December 2017.Career statistics

<mask> (born 10 April 1971) is an English former professional footballer and Pro Licensed coach. <mask> is currently working as Academy Director for IFK Mariehamn, a Finnish Veikkausliiga league team that competed in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. Early life
<mask>, was born in Ashford, Surrey, England on 10.4.1971. <mask> was at Chelsea for a short period before he signed for Egham Town F.C. 's Youth team at 15 and made his senior debut just a year later. <mask> scored on his debut in a 2–0 win v local rivals Chertsey Town. He made a significant number of appearances in their Isthmian, Suburban and Allied Counties Leagues sides during the '87/8 campaign and received their Billy King Most Improved Player trophy.Playing career
In September '88, as a 17-year-old <mask> was signed by then English Football League 3rd Division (now EFL League One) side Aldershot, where he did a one-year apprenticeship; he was Youth Team player of the year and was given a professional contract. <mask> had an illness which kept him out of football for a long period of time but was able to recover to make his Football League debut (a home defeat by Hereford United) on 1.5.89. At the end of season 88/89 <mask> signed another one-year contract: he only made two more Football League appearances but was a regular in the 1st team squad. A highlight of the season was scoring twice against Arsenal in a reserve team fixture, and being involved in Aldershot's FA Cup run which ended in a defeat by West Ham United in a 3rd Round replay, before his release in May '91. <mask> next signed for Isthmian Premier Sutton United, where he played the first half of season 1991/2, scoring on his debut in a 1–0 win over Martin O'Neill's Wycombe Wanderers F.C. His 20-odd appearances, including one against Staines Town, prompted Neil Price into signing him. <mask> would remain at Staines until Dec '96, amassing 299 First Team appearances and scoring 80 goals, including netting 31 penalties for the Swans.He helped the Club win a Middlesex Senior and Charity Cup 'double' in '94 scoring in both finals, and the '95 Isthmian Full Members' (Carlsberg) Cup. During 1993/4, he was top scorer with 27 goals, and played in 71 of the club's 72 1st team games; he was voted Players' Player of the Year in 1996, and also gained a Middlesex 'cap' marking 5 games for the senior representative side. Staines were promoted into the Isthmian Premier when finishing 3rd in 1995/6. However, 6 months later, <mask> opted to return to Aldershot by signing for the new Aldershot Town (1992), where he played from Dec '96 to Jan '98, becoming one of only eight players to have represented both the town's original and reformed clubs. He then signed for Isthmian Premier side Basingstoke Town, before unexpectedly securing a deadline day March '99 move to Alan Devonshire's Maidenhead United, for whom his extra time goal helped to defeat Wycombe Wanderers and lift the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup. Coaching career

<mask> Soccer School
Ever since his early days at Aldershot, <mask> had been interested in coaching and passed his Preliminary coaching badge with Dale Banton. Upon his release, he coached children as a career, firstly working with Colin Smith then working successfully with numerous local schools and clubs, achieving unprecedented success with the tiny Our Lady of the Rosary School (Staines).In 1994, he took a Staines Town under- team to Åland, a tour he continued to make annually, winning the Alandia Cup – which at that time was Europe's largest single age-group competition – in '95 & '96 as Staines Town, and six more times as <mask>ks Soccer School (England) - SBSS. Remarkably, they were semi-finalists 15 out of 20 years, in a tournament which typically includes around 90 teams. His sides have also performed well in the Arsenal Invitational Tournament, and at events in Denmark. He was also co-founder of Colne Valley Girls FC. Cove FC
Beeks' senior coaching career started in June 1999 when he was appointed Player-Manager of Cove, taking this perennially under-achieving club to a Combined Counties Football League and League Cup double, and the last 16 of the FA Vase. Another highlight of his two seasons there was knocking Bognor Regis Town out of the FA Cup, followed by a narrow loss in a replay to Lewes. Fleet Town FC
Beeks left Cove in Sept '01, and a couple of months later accepted a similar post at Fleet Town, who had made a poor start in the Wessex League.However, only two defeats in 36 games saw them finish runners-up and gain promotion to the Southern League. Fleet were also League Cup finalists. He left Fleet in the wake of budget cuts early the next season, and signed as a player for Winchester City, who romped the Hampshire League (181 goals, 109 points), reached the FA Vase quarter-finals, and lifted the Southampton Senior Cup at St Mary's Stadium. Molesey FC
Beeks started the 2003/4 season playing at Conference club Farnborough Town, but having regained fitness and reached the brink of a 1st Team call, he accepted the offer to manage Molesey. Despite The Moles' recurrent off-field problems, <mask> twice built up a side from scratch, discovering Sergio Torres, and guiding the side to their best ever FA Trophy run, whilst playing himself at the back. Three years of progression resulted in a higher league table position each year, culminating in Molesey's highest position in over a decade, including an unbeaten 19 match run, and an Isthmian League Manager of the Month award. Boardroom wranglings and a desire to concentrate on his coaching qualifications saw him step down in summer '07.He had then already become Academy Director for Wealdstone F.C. at Stanmore College. AFC Wimbledon
In the 2008/9 season he took on the role of chief scout at AFC Wimbledon under Terry Brown and was instrumental in the Dons finding <mask>, who was later sold to AFC Bournemouth. AFC Wimbledon were promoted as champions In 2009. Later in the same year he passed the UEFA 'A' Coaching Licence and in 2009/10 season he had a short spell as coach at Mark Butler's Margate F.C. Åland United
In late 2010 <mask> was appointed head coach of Åland United, a professional team in the Naisten Liiga, the top division of women's football in Finland. Åland United finished fourth in 2011, 6 points from gold, and 2nd in 2012, 2 points off the title, and with a new league record for goals scored, which was quite an achievement as the club came through some big financial problems under the guidance of newly appointed Peter Lindbäck in 2012.During this time Åland United signed and developed international players like Pille Raadik (Estonia), Hayley Lauder (Scotland), and numerous Finnish internationals such as Adelina Engman (latterly at Chelsea). IFK Mariehamn
In 2012 <mask>, was head-hunted by IFK Mariehamn to become their academy director. He has overseen the progress of numerous players to Finnish youth National teams and IFK's 1st team. IFK Mariehamn won the Finnish Cup in 2015, and played in the UEFA Europa League 2016. In 2016 IFK won the Finnish top league, and played in the UEFA Champions League in 2017. In February 2018 he completed the UEFA Pro Licence: his tutor was the Finnish national men's team Head Coach Markku Kanerva. Playing statistics

Chief <mask> (c. 1808 – 1855; also known as Wakara, Wahkara, Chief Walker or Colorow) was a Shoshone          leader of the Utah Indians known as the Timpanogo and Sanpete Band. It is not completely clear what cultural group the Utah or Timpanogo Indians belonged to, but they are listed as Shoshone. He had a reputation as a diplomat, horseman and warrior, and a military leader of raiding parties, and in the Wakara War. He was the most prominent Native American chief in the Utah area when the Mormon Pioneers arrived in 1847. One observer described <mask> in 1843 as:
"the principal ruling chief... owing his position to great wealth. He is a good trader, trafficking with the whites and reselling goods to such of his nation as are less skillful in striking a bargain." In 1865, some ten years after his death, the Timpanogo agreed to go live on the Uintah Reservation under Chief Tabby-To-Kwanah and merged with the Northern Shoshone.<mask> is often referred to as Ute, but this is incorrect. Ute is a blanket name for many tribes. The Shoshone have cultural and linguistic heritage as part of the Numic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family. <mask> is Shoshone and his name, <mask>, means Hawk, in Shoshone. Timpanogos Chief
<mask> was born approximately 1808 along the Spanish Fork River in Utah. He was one of the five sons of a chief of the Timpanogos Tribe. He spent much time fishing along the Utah Lake shores in what is now Provo and Vineyard.<mask> could communicate in Spanish, English, and native languages. His brothers included Chief Arapeen, for whom the Arapeen Valley near Sterling, Utah was named; Chief San-Pitch, for whom Sanpete County is named; Chief Kanosh, for whom a town was named; and Chief Sowiette. He gathered a raiding band of warriors from Great Basin tribes, Ute, Paiute and Shoshone, and often rode with his brothers on raids. His band raided ranches and attacked travelers in the Great Basin and along the Old Spanish Trail between New Mexico and California. Small native bands and tribes in the area paid him tribute in return for protection and assistance. <mask> was often distinguished by the yellow face paint that he wore. Some people called him, 'The Greatest Horse thief in History.'In California, especially, <mask> was known as a great horse thief, due to his stealing around 3,000 horses in Southern California in the 1840s. In some of these raids, the band fought Cahuilla leader Juan Antonio. Mountain men James Beckwourth and Thomas "Pegleg" Smith were involved in this campaign and were known to trade with Walkara, providing the band with whiskey in return for horses. In 1845 Benjamin Davis Wilson, Justice of the Peace and assistant for Indian affairs in Riverside County, was commissioned to track down <mask> and his marauders and bring them to justice, but never succeeded. Their mission was interrupted by the discovery of the Big Bear Lake area. No additional account of the pursuit was ever reported. Horsethief Canyon and Little Horsethief Canyon in the Cajon Pass are named for Walkara's exploits.Several men were killed in both canyons. Ambivalent relations with the Mormons and settlers
When Mormon pioneers arrived in what is today known as Utah, they were caught between the Shoshone and the Ute: both tribes claimed the Salt Lake Valley. The settlers refused to pay the Shoshone for the land, knowing that they would have to pay the Ute as well. Brigham Young, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), recommended the Mormon settlers avoid trading with Native American tribes. At this time, the Ute bands of Indians were divided, but <mask>'s band was one of the most influential. <mask> recognized that trading with the settlers would enable his band to become more powerful. However, the Ute were angered by the Mormons building a permanent settlement in the area, and <mask> favored driving them out by force.His brother, Sowiette, wanted to accommodate the Mormons. After initial disagreement, Walkara conceded to Sowiette. Instead of war, the Mormons initially had peace with the Timpanogo. The first act of violence between the Ute and the Mormon settlers occurred on March 5, 1849. Some Ute had disregarded their leaders' instruction not to steal from the Mormons, and had killed and stolen livestock from the settlers. In retaliation, the settlers set out to find those responsible. They ambushed some Ute, resulting in six killed, in an event known as the Battle Creek massacre.Later in April, Walkara supported Ute attacks on Fort Utah; nevertheless, Young and <mask> entered into a peaceful relationship by May. In late 1849, <mask> met with Young, asking him to send men to help settle Ute land, and with that request, settlers including Welcome Chapman went to the Sanpete Valley. Young dispatched a company of about 225 settlers, under the direction of Isaac Morley. The settlers arrived at the present location of Manti, Utah in November, and established a base camp for the winter, digging temporary shelters into the south side of the hill on which the LDS Church's Manti Utah Temple now stands. It was an isolated place, at least four days by wagon from the nearest Mormon settlement. Relations between the Mormon settlers and the local Ute Indians were helpful and cooperative. Morley and his settlers felt that part of their purpose was to bring the gospel to the Indians.Morley wrote, "Did we come here to enrich ourselves in the things of this world? No. We were sent to enrich the Natives and comfort the hearts of the long oppressed." During the severe winter, a measles epidemic broke out. The Mormons used their limited medicine to nurse the Indians, and likewise when Mormon supplies ran low, the Ute shared their food supply. In 1850, <mask> agreed to be baptized into the LDS Church with his son. <mask> regularly traded women and children as slaves in order to trade for horses, guns, and ammunition.Mormon settlers tried to stop this practice, but their efforts only angered the tribe for interfering with their Indian slave trade. Relations with the Mormon settlers deteriorated rapidly. <mask>'s raiding lifestyle was under pressure from an increasing number of federal troops in the Great Basin and Southwest and from the expansion of Latter-day Saint settlements. One conjecture holds that Mormon settlers also strongly objected to the profitable traditional trade in native slaves and interfered in many transactions. This is contradictory to the fact that Young was not, by his own account, an abolitionist. In addition, increasing numbers of non-Mormon trading expeditions and settlers were traveling through Central and Southern Utah, adding to the competition for water and resources. Some isolated natives were killed, and <mask> and other leaders became increasingly angry with both the Mormonees and the Mericats, designations used by local tribes to distinguish Mormon settlers from non-Mormon Americans.Walker War

Growing tension between the Mormon settlers and the Ute Indians resulted in the Walker War. The war was sparked on July 17, 1853, by a confrontation with James Anderson Ivie in Springville in Utah Valley. It resulted in the death of a band member, Shower-O-Cats, a relative of Walkara. The Indians wanted to trade goods near Ivie's home, when Ivie tried to intervene in an argument over a trade between a Ute and his wife. Ivie wounded several of the Indians and one died. When Ivie would not comply with Indian requests for compensation, believing that he acted in self-defense, tension between Mormon settlers and the Ute reached its peak. A militia unit went to Walkara's camp in Payson to work out a peaceful resolution; however, no arrangement was agreed upon.The Utes demanded retribution, seeking the death of a Euro-American. When the Mormons refused, the Ute shot and killed Alexander Keele on July 18, 1853, in Payson. This event was the tipping point in the relations between the two groups. Indians started attacks in nearby towns. By July 25, Walkara was reported to be gathering Ute for a war. Mormon colonels Peter Conover and Stephen Markham rounded up men and called for volunteers to pursue the Ute, and families were advised to fortify their houses, store their grains, and protect their livestock. In a defensive effort, Brigham Young directed settlers to move from outlying farms and ranches and establish centralized forts.His people began to heavily guard the travel routes between Mormon settlements. <mask> and his warriors conducted raids against Mormon outposts in central and southern Utah; in turn pioneer militias retaliated. In one case, four settlers driving oxen-drawn wagons to Salt Lake City from Manti were attacked and killed at Uintah Springs on the night of September 30, 1853. Historical accounts indicate that pioneers retaliated the next day, and intermittent fighting continued until early November. In December of that year, Young offered amnesty to all the Ute. They did not respond and continued to commit violent acts for several more weeks. On March 24, Young sent Major E.A.Bedell, the federal Indian agent, to meet with <mask> and other Ute leaders. Bedell was to inquire if they would make a treaty with Young for the sale of their land. During the meeting with Bedell, <mask> said that "he would prefer not to sell if he could live peacefully with the white people which he was anxious to do." The Walker War ended through this understanding personally negotiated between Young and <mask> that was finalized in May 1854 in Levan, near Nephi, Utah. In his contemporary work Incidents of Travel and Adventure in the Far West (1857), photographer and artist Solomon N. Carvalho gives an account of the peace council held between <mask>, other native leaders in central Utah, and Brigham Young. Carvalho took the opportunity to persuade the Indian leader to pose for a portrait, now held by the Thomas Gilcrease Institute, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Although immediate hostilities ended, none of the underlying conflicts were resolved.<mask> died of "lung fever" on 29 January 1855 at Meadow Creek, Utah. At his funeral, fifteen horses, two wives, and two children were killed and buried along with him. However, tensions remained; together with some who refused to accept the peace,  another incident precipitated the longer and more costly Ute Black Hawk War a decade later. In all, casualties during the war totaled twelve white settlers and an equally modest number of Indians. In addition, U.S. surveyor John Williams Gunnison and seven members of his party were attacked and killed, apparently by local tribesmen, along the lower Sevier River in 1853. An archaeological dig in 2007 examined seven bodies of Native American men and boys found in a relatively shallow grave near Nephi. Wounds on some of the remains suggest these Native Americans were executed rather than killed in combat.One skeleton appeared to have been bound by a leather strap at the time of his death. The bodies probably belonged to members of a Utah or Goshute tribe. A rock monument was built in Memorial Park in Payson to commemorate the death of a settler during the war. Another was built in Spanish Fork, Utah at the site of the Old Palmyra Fort. Tribe joining the LDS Church by baptism

After the Walker War had ended, on July 27, 1854, under the direction of stake president Welcome Chapman, 120 members (103 males, 17 females) of <mask>'s tribe were baptized as members of the LDS Church in Manti's City Creek. <mask> was possibly re-baptized at this time. After his baptism, he was renamed Joseph Walker.Slavery

There is controversy over whether Chief <mask> was involved in slavery and human sacrifice. His descendants report that such activities were never cultural with them and would have been considered dishonorable. <mask> supposedly was involved with the slave trade in the Great Basin. The custom of the Ute tribes allowed for them to sell women and children in exchange for supplies and horses, which they ate. Some children were acquired for trading through war raids and then were sold to Mexican traders who sold them as slaves in California or Mexico. A boy could typically be sold for $100, and girls were for $150 to $200. At first, church leaders encouraged Walkara's slave trade.Apostle George A. Smith gave him talking papers that certified "it is my desire that they [Captain Walker and Peteetneet] should be treated as friends, and as they wish to Trade horses, Buckskins and Piede children, we hope them success and prosperity and good bargains." Brigham Young encouraged the saints to "buy up the Lamanite children as fast as they could," for the purpose of educating them and teach them the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1906, Susa Young Gates accused Walkara of kidnapping Brigham Young's daughter, Sally Young Kanosh. However, there is little evidence that it occurred. Child sacrifice
<mask> was said to have been involved in human sacrifice. The Ute had a practice of burying children alive to serve as servants to the recently deceased and be their companion in the next life. <mask> may have had two captive children killed to relieve his own pain.When the Walker War ended, <mask>'s daughter was sick; he said that if his child died, an Indian woman must be sacrificed so that his daughter's spirit did not travel alone in the spirit world. Upon <mask>'s death, two Indian women, three deceased children, twenty horses, and one live boy were buried as formal sacrifices with him. Death

<mask> died after a lingering illness, possibly pneumonia, on January 28, 1855, while at Meadow Creek, Utah Territory. As Chief of the Timpanogos Utes, he reportedly had a rather elaborate burial and was entombed in a small canyon in the mountains, along with animal and human sacrifices. This burial scene involved carrying his corpse to the rocky entombment site by binding his corpse so that it sat upright on a horse. <mask>'s weapons and ammunition were laid beside him and his personal horses were killed to company him on his journey to the next life. He had a letter from Brigham Young in his hand.A live boy and girl were placed on top of the burial pit in order to watch over his grave until they joined <mask> in the afterlife. The boy broke free and cried for help. Although nearby settlers heard him, gunfire from the Indian tribe warned them not to interfere. Isaac Morley, his long time friend, had promised <mask> that he would speak at the entombment. Morley later described the terrible ordeal and reported that he dare not object to the ceremony for fear of causing an uprising in the already delicate relationship between Walkara's brothers and the white settlers.

Countess Maria Theodora Paulina (<mask><mask> (, 10 September 1885 – 5 March 1923) was a Croatian composer and a member of the <mask> noble family. She was one of the composers to introduce the orchestral song to Croatian music and her Symphony in F-sharp minor is considered by scholars to be the first modern symphony in Croatian music. Early life
<mask> (in old documents also Pejacsevich) was born in Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary, the daughter of a Croatian ban, Hungarian-Croatian Count Teodor Pejacsevich of Virovitica and Hungarian Baroness Elisabeth Josepha Vay de Vaya (1860-1941), herself a fine pianist. Her mother was the first to give her piano lessons. Paternally, she descended from the old Croatian noble <mask> family, one of the most distinguished noble families in Slavonia, the eastern region of Croatia. Her maternal family was, for centuries intermarried with Counts Teleki de Szék, which gave them political and economical importance within the region of Budapest. Much of her mother’s prominence led to <mask> veering towards music rather than the aristocratic lifestyle that was impressed upon her.<mask> began to compose when she was 12. She studied music privately in Zagreb, Dresden and Munich and received lessons in instrumentation (from Dragutin Kaiser and Walter Courvoisier), composition (from Percy Sherwood) and violin (from Henri Petri in Munich). She was largely self-taught, however. Career and personal life
In 1913, <mask> composed a piano concerto, her first orchestration, marking her as the first ever Croatian composer to write a concerto. <mask>’s earlier compositions mostly consisted of piano pieces, sonatas, and songs and were considered elite in their nature. Many of her pieces premiered in Germany, played by major soloists of the era. When her Symphony in F Sharp Minor, Op.41 premiered in the »Großer Musikvereins-Saal« in Vienna, a critic was surprised when a woman came up on stage, which shows how her excellence contributed to her importance as a composer, specifically a woman composer, in the early twentieth century. Throughout her lifetime, <mask>’s compositions were performed in Budapest, Vienna, Prague, München, Dresden, and her town of Nasice. She married Ottomar, Ritter von Lumbe (1892-1978) in 1921. Although <mask> led a lonely life, she met many prominent musicians and writers, and befriended Austrian journalist and writer Karl Kraus and Czech aristocrat and patroness of arts Countess Sidonie von Thun und Hohenstein. Death
<mask> died in Munich in 1923. Multiple sources have described her passing in contradicting manners. One source claims the cause of Pejacevic’s death was kidney failure; taking place four weeks after her son, Theo’s birth.Another source mentions her passing taking place as a result from complications during childbirth. Her tombstone, per her request, has her name written solely as “<mask>” with the short phrase “Rest Now.” She is buried at the cemetery in Našice, Croatia. Legacy
<mask> is considered a major Croatian composer. She left behind a considerable catalogue of 58 opuses (106 compositions), mostly in late Romantic style, including songs, piano works, chamber music, and several compositions for large orchestra, arguably her best. Her Symphony in F-sharp minor is considered by scholars the first modern symphony in Croatian music. Most of her music has yet to be published and released on compact disc, although concerted efforts have been made recently to rectify this situation. For example, the Croatian Music Information Centre has published some of her scores, including three of her orchestral works (Piano Concerto, Symphony, and Phantasie Concertante).In 2008, the Center also published a bilingual monograph (in English and Croatian), written by the Pejačević scholar Koraljka Kos, accompanied by a first all-Pejačević CD of piano and chamber music. Her life is the subject of the fictionalized Croatian biographical film Countess <mask> (1993), directed by Zvonimir Berković and starring Alma Prica and Rade Šerbedžija. List of works

<mask> (May 10, 1825 – December 26, 1904) was an American soldier who fought for the Union in the American Civil War. He was a leader in the iron and nail business before the war, and his leadership abilities proved useful in the military. <mask> began as a captain, and quickly ascended to higher roles in the cavalry, including commanding a regiment, a brigade, and then a division. <mask> was awarded his country's highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor, for heroism at Sinking Creek, Virginia, when, as leader of a group of 22 men, he captured an enemy camp and took over 100 prisoners. This was accomplished without the loss of any of his men on November 26, 1862. He was honored with the award on July 22, 1890. In July 1863, <mask> was shot while leading cavalry in Wytheville, Virginia.Although surgeons on both sides of the conflict believed his wound was fatal, <mask> survived—and became a prisoner of war. He was later exchanged, and returned to his command of the 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. In 1864, <mask> commanded brigades while fighting mostly in the Shenandoah Valley under the direct supervision of General <mask>. Averell in an army commanded by General Philip Sheridan. Eventually, <mask> replaced Averell as division commander. <mask> led cavalry in numerous battles, including Moorefield, Opequon, and Fisher's Hill. He resigned as a brigadier general in January 1865 to tend to family health issues. He was later brevetted to major general.<mask> returned to his original profession working in the iron making industry, and was active in the Grand Army of the Republic, a fraternal organization of Union veterans of the American Civil War. In a letter sent to headquarters in 1864, General George Crook said "Colonel <mask> has served with me often since the commencement of the war. He has distinguished himself in every battle he was engaged in under me. He has been recommended by me on several occasions, for promotion. I regard him as one of the best cavalry officers I have ever seen in the service." Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on May 10, 1825, in Pontypool, South Wales. At the time, the community was part of Monmouthshire, an iron-making region.Both of his parents, <mask> and Sarah Griffith <mask>, were Welsh. His father immigrated to the United States in 1827, and his mother followed in 1830 with the rest of the family. Originally, they lived in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but they moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1833. <mask>'s father was an ironworker, and was employed by the Gennessee Iron Works. <mask> began to learn his father's profession while still a boy, working in a rolling mill and nail factory in Nashville. In 1840, the Gennessee Iron Works closed because of a recession. The family moved north to Wheeling, Virginia, in 1843.<mask>'s father began employment at Wheeling's Rolling Mill Nail Factory. <mask> continued learning his father's profession in Wheeling. Four years after the move to Wheeling, he built the Benwood Nail Works while only 22 years old, and became its superintendent. In 1846, he was involved in an accident at the nail iron works and lost vision of his right eye. <mask> married Sarah Gilchrist in 1847, and they eventually had six children. Two children died in infancy, and one died at age 20. In 1853, the family moved to Ironton, Ohio, which is located southwest of Wheeling along the Ohio River.In Ironton, <mask> built the Bellfonte Nail Works. When the American Civil War began in 1861, <mask> was general superintendent and financial agent of this large iron works. He left the business in August to begin service as a cavalry captain. American Civil War: Western Virginia
Between September 20, 1860, and February 1, 1861, seven southern states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America. Fighting began on April 12, 1861, when American troops were attacked at Fort Sumpter in South Carolina. This is considered the beginning of the American Civil War. Four additional states, including Virginia, seceded during the next three months.Some of the northwestern counties of Virginia disagreed with secession and they met in Wheeling to form a Restored Government of Virginia loyal to the United States. Initially, the "War of the Rebellion" was not expected to last long. However, the war continued through the summer, and President Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers to fight against the rebels of the Confederacy. <mask> resigned his civilian job on August 1, 1861, and recruited enough men to form a company of cavalry and was elected their captain. Ten companies were united to form a cavalry regiment which consisted mostly of men from the Ohio counties located close to the Ohio River. The regiment was originally intended to be the 4th Ohio Cavalry, but Ohio governor <mask> refused to accept the unit's application because he had been instructed to accept no more new cavalry. The regiment's application was accepted by the provisional governor of the Restored Government of Virginia, Francis Harrison Pierpont, and became the 2nd Regiment of Loyal Virginia Volunteer Cavalry.<mask>'s company was designated Company B, and he was commissioned as its captain on August 14. The regiment's first significant action was on January 7, 1862, in Louisa, Kentucky, where it assisted a force commanded by Colonel James A. Garfield, future President of the United States. <mask> led his company, reinforced with men from the regiment's Company C, in a charge that drove back a Confederate rearguard. Kanawha Valley
During 1862–1863, the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry spent much of its time  confronting bushwhackers—who were despised. The bushwhacker was thought of as an "unprincipled scoundrel who was too cowardly to join the army and fight as a man…", who would "sneak around like a thief in the night…." Eventually, Union forces in the mountains of what became West Virginia became very ruthless in their treatment of bushwhackers. <mask> was usually stationed near the Kanawha River Valley, in the southwestern portion of present West Virginia—which was part of Virginia at the time.Entire regiments were not needed for bushwhacker duty, so the regiment often worked in detachments of two companies. In April 1862, <mask>'s regiment was divided into two battalions. <mask>'s battalion, commanded by Colonel <mask>. Bolles, joined some Ohio infantry regiments to form the 3rd Brigade of General Jacob Dolson Cox's Kanawha Division. The brigade was commanded by Colonel (later Major General) George Crook, a professional soldier with fighting experience in the American West. Crook's brigade normally operated independently from the other portion of Cox's division. Its camp was located at Meadow Bluff, west of Lewisburg in Greenbrier County. <mask>'s major fighting experience as part of this brigade happened on May 27, against Confederate General <mask>.Crook's brigade ambushed Heth's force in Lewisburg, killing or wounding over 150 enemy soldiers and capturing over 150. The cavalry pursued the fleeing rebels and stopped only when a bridge was destroyed. Shortly after this engagement, Colonel Bolles resigned and several officers of the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry were promoted. On June 25, 1862, <mask> was promoted to major because of his gallant conduct in Kentucky and to fill a vacancy caused by the Bolles resignation. Kanawha Valley Campaign
During August 1862, many of the Union soldiers stationed in western Virginia were sent to Washington to reinforce the Army of Virginia. This caused the two battalions from the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry to be reunited, and it was stationed with two infantry regiments in Kanawha Falls, close to Gauley Bridge, in what is now south central West Virginia. The small force was commanded by Colonel Joseph Andrew Jackson Lightburn.In September, the Confederate Army became aware of the Union Army's lack of manpower, and devised a plan of attack. The Confederates sent a large force led by General <mask>. Loring, incorrectly rumored to be 10,000 men, to attack Lightburn from the southeast. A cavalry brigade of about 550 men led by Colonel Albert G. Jenkins patrolled along the Ohio River with the intention of preventing a retreat by Lightburn. A large portion of the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry, commanded by Colonel John C. Paxton, was sent to confront Jenkins. <mask> led the advance guard, which happened to be <mask>'s company (CompanyB) before his promotion to major. On September 8, <mask>'s advance group led the attack on Jenkins' rebel camp outside of Barboursville, which is close to the Ohio River. The camp was captured, and Jenkins barely escaped.The rebel force, which was much larger than Paxton's cavalry, was driven southward up the Guyandotte River. Thus, <mask>'s advance guard for Paxton enabled a safe retreat to the Ohio River for the remaining portion of Lightburn's small force. Lightburn's report said "The Second Virginia Cavalry, under Colonel Paxton, did good service in keeping Jenkins' force at bay, thereby preventing an attack in our rear. I wish, also, to state that Colonel Paxton, with 300 men, attacked Jenkins' whole force (from 1,200 to 1,500), and drove them from Barboursville, which, no doubt, kept them from an attempt to harass our retreat." Sinking Creek raid

 Confederate gains in the Kanawha Valley did not last long, and Union troops reoccupied much of the valley. In November 1862, the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry camped for the winter along the Kanawha River, about  upriver from Charleston. Newly promoted Brigadier General George Crook commanded Union troops in the valley, and Paxton commanded <mask>'s regiment, the 2nd Loyal Virginia Cavalry.Crook was an experienced Indian fighter, and believed that adverse weather was an advantage in the hit-and-run fighting style of raids. On November 23, he ordered Paxton to rendezvous with an infantry regiment on Cold Knob Mountain, and then lead an attack on two rebel camps in Sinking Creek Valley. Before the cavalry regiment departed, Crook confidentially told <mask> to not return without good results. The cavalry reached their meeting place near the top of Cold Knob Mountain on November 26. The 11th Ohio Infantry had arrived a few hours earlier. The men from the infantry had marched through rain, and were caught (as was the cavalry) in a snowstorm. After a conference between Paxton and the infantry's Colonel Philander P. Lane, the infantry aborted their mission and began a return to camp.Paxton also considered aborting the mission, but was persuaded by <mask> to continue. Paxton sent <mask> and 2nd Lieutenant Jeremiah Davidson with 20 men from Company G down the mountain to scout for the rebel camps. <mask> and his men found one of the camps, determined that it was poorly guarded, and decided to capture it themselves. Each member of <mask>'s advance guard was armed with a saber and two six-shot revolvers. <mask> decided to attack with sabers so that the other rebel camp would not be alarmed. They charged into the 500-man rebel camp with sabers drawn, and completely surprised the rebels. Many of the weapons captured were not loaded.Although hundreds of the rebels scattered into the countryside, a captain, a lieutenant and 112 enlisted men were captured, along with 200 weapons, a few wagons and some camping equipment. <mask>'s only casualties were the loss of two horses. Two rebels were killed and two wounded. The trip back to camp was difficult because of the cold weather, and two men were hospitalized at the infantry's Summerville camp because of frostbite. Ten horses were lost because of cold and exhaustion. Paxton ended his report by writing "I cannot close this report without deservedly complimenting the officers and men, but, where all behaved so gallantly, it is impossible to particularize. But all honor is due Major <mask>, who led the charge...." <mask> and Davidson were promoted shortly afterwards—<mask> from major to lieutenant colonel, and Davidson from second lieutenant to first lieutenant.After the war, <mask> was awarded the Medal of Honor for his performance in the Sinking Creek raid. In 1889, Crook said that he regarded the "expedition as one of the most daring, brilliant and successful of the whole war." Regiment commander
During March 1863, <mask> became severely ill, and was unable to recover at camp. He eventually resigned from the cavalry, and returned to his home in Ohio. <mask> was also unhappy with Paxton, although this was revealed to only a few. On May 1, Paxton led a night raid (without <mask>) near Lewisburg, and the regiment was defeated with significant casualties. Total losses were sixteen killed, missing, or wounded—plus 28 horses killed.General Eliakim P. Scammon, the division commander after Crook had been sent elsewhere, dismissed Paxton after the regiment returned to camp. Paxton was popular with his troops, but the troops also respected <mask>. At the time of Paxton's dismissal, <mask>'s resignation had yet to be accepted, and he was still at home in Ohio regaining his health. After a petition by the regiment, <mask> was persuaded to retract his resignation. He was promoted to colonel and became the regiment's commander effective May 13, 1863. Wytheville raid

 The Wytheville raid occurred on July 18, 1863, in southwestern Virginia. <mask> was second in command of a small 800-man brigade of cavalry and mounted infantry.He had some disagreements with how his commander, an infantry veteran named Colonel John Toland, handled the cavalry, and both men were shot early in the raid; Toland being killed on a street in Wytheville, and <mask> believed to be mortally wounded. Although the Union brigade was able to secure the town, it suffered numerous casualties—and left town less than 24 hours after its arrival. <mask>'s wound was painful enough that he could not be moved, and he became a prisoner of the Confederates. The citizens of Wytheville blamed <mask> for the burning of several homes and buildings, although the damage occurred after he was wounded. When it appeared he might be harmed, a few of the local women intervened by hiding him in a hotel. <mask> unexpectedly recovered enough that he could be moved, and was eventually sent to Richmond's Libby Prison. He was placed in solitary confinement on charges of robbery and murder.One of the men from the 2nd West Virginia cavalry wrote that "It was well known that the confederate authorities had placed Colonel <mask> in a dungeon for some imaginary wrong...." One of the main causes for his predicament was the burning of a house and barn near Lewisburg, West Virginia, an act that the Confederate army and Lewisburg community considered unjustified and without military purpose. On January 29, 1864, <mask> was paroled for 30 days to negotiate his exchange for Confederate Colonel Richard H. Lee. This negotiation was successful (Lee was a distant relative of Confederate General Robert E. Lee), and <mask> returned to Ironton, Ohio, to continue his recuperation. On February 22, friends presented him with a gold watch, money to purchase a horse, a saber, and "a brace of Colt's ivory mounted 44 calibre navy revolvers." On March 20, 1864, he returned to Charleston and resumed command of the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry regiment. Cove Mountain

Around the time of <mask>'s return, Crook was assigned command of the entire Kanawha Division. In April, General <mask>. Averell arrived in Charleston with two regiments of cavalry.On April 30, Crook organized a two prong attack against strategic Confederate locations along the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. Crook led infantry from Charleston toward the Confederate regional headquarters at the Dublin Depot in Virginia. He sent cavalry under the command of Averell to attack Saltville, Virginia. Averell found Saltville strongly defended, so he decided to attack Wytheville instead. To get to Wytheville, Averell needed to move the cavalry through the mountains at Cove Gap (also known as Grassy Lick) in northern Wythe County. On May 10, Averell's path through the gap was blocked by a large force commanded by Confederate General <mask>. "Grumble" Jones reinforced by cavalry led by General John Hunt Morgan. Originally, Averell's plan was to have <mask> lead a cavalry charge into the gap with sabers drawn.However, the charge was cancelled after a reconnaissance mission discovered a mass of Confederate soldiers waiting to ambush the Union cavalry. Instead, the Union cavalry formed a battle line that drew the Confederates out of the gap. A four-hour battle ensued. Averell's forehead was grazed by a bullet, and he temporarily relinquished command. The second in command, General Alfred N. Duffié, had a "conspicuous absence", so command fell to <mask>. <mask> was unable to get the cavalry through the gap, but he was able to make effective use of the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry, and hold off the larger Confederate force. The result of the battle was an inconclusive standoff that ended at dusk.During the night, a local slave led Averell's force on a difficult alternative route (Crab Orchard) through the mountains, and they eventually linked with Crook. Averell's report said "The General commanding desires to express his high appreciation of the skillful evolution of the 2nd Regiment, West Virginia Cavalry, under Colonel <mask>, upon the field of battle. It was a dress parade that continued without disorder under a heavy fire for four hours." Hunter's Lynchburg Campaign

On June 9, an army commanded by General David Hunter was reorganized, and <mask> was assigned command of the 3rd Brigade under Averell's 2nd Cavalry Division of the Army of West Virginia. This brigade consisted of the 1st West Virginia Cavalry and the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry. On June 10, Hunter's Lynchburg Campaign was organized, and troops departed from Stanton, Virginia, toward Lynchburg. <mask>'s brigade often took the advance for the main portion of Hunter's force, moving south to Lexington, then southeast toward Lynchburg.<mask>'s cavalry approached Lynchburg from
