Description
Yankee Stepfather: General O. O. Howard and the Freedmen (Revised)Instructed by Congress to divide lands abandoned to the Union army into forty acre plots and award them to freedmen, Howard began a program that might have given many families farms of their own. The effort had barely begun when it ran into President Andrew Johnson's policy of returning such lands to former white owners. Soon Howard and his agents were under pressure not to assist the free people, but to coerce them into working for landlords. And
Instructed by Congress to divide lands abandoned to the Union army into forty-acre plots and award them to freedmen, Howard began a program that might have given many families farms of their own. The effort had barely begun when it ran into President Andrew Johnson's policy of returning such lands to former white owners. Soon Howard and his agents were under pressure not to assist the free people, but to coerce them into working for landlords.
And yet, however tarnished the record, the Bureau was still recalled by W. E. B. DuBois for its "bright promise." Yankee Stepfather provides a revealing, and troubling, picture of the complex relationship of African Americans to their government at a crucial juncture in American history.
In a new foreword to this edition, William S. McFeely places his book, first published in 1968, in its place in the scholarship on race relations of the past quarter-century.

Durable
Color: Hammer, Size: 7 Inch
Even my monster hasn't been able to chew through these in a few months, and he has destroyed one of the black Kongs in the same time frame.

Tough to destroy for aggressive chewers
Color: Wrench, Size: 8 Inch
My doggie chewed out stairscase, the sofa, my shoes, and would destroy anything labeled pet “tough” toys. This stopped her from destroying!! Soo cool and cleans her teeth too. I got this one as gift for other retriever fams! Super cool. Doesn’t smell bad and its lightweight but durable like crazy.

Great Toy for Chewers!
Color: Hammer, Size: 7 Inch
This is one of my dog’s favorite toys! He will chew on it for hours. It is durable and takes him a while to make it indistinguishable as a hammer. No smell to it. The rubber bits do come off so I have to check it and make sure he doesn’t eat them.

Good toy
Color: Hammer, Size: 7 Inch
Solid value for the $. The hammer seems particularly good, my bigger dogs like to hold it down by the head. I bought a 2nd.
