- William Tecumseh Sherman was a general in the Union army during the American Civil War (and the man who coined the phrase, "War is hell"). He was regarded as one of the most able generals on either side, and his famous "March to the Sea" was credited with greatly shortening the length of the war and is considered by many military historians to be one of the first examples of "total war" in the history of modern warfare.
One of eight children, Sherman was born Tecumseh Sherman (in honor of the famous Shawnee Indian warrior) in Lancaster, OH, in 1820. His father was a judge who died when William was only nine. He was adopted by William Ewing, a family friend, and Ewing's wife added "William" to his name. At 16 years of age young William received an appointment to the US Army Military Academy at West Point, NY, graduating in 1840 near the top of his class. Upon graduation Sherman was posted to Florida, where he took part in the war with the Seminole Indian tribe, and he was later transferred to Fort Moultrie, SC. When the Mexican War broke out in 1848 Sherman was stationed in California as an administrative officer and was unable to take part in it. In 1850 he married Ellen Ewing--her father William, who had adopted Sherman as a youth, was by this time the US Secretary of the Interior--and the newlyweds settled in St. Louis, MO.
Sherman resigned from the army in 1853 and traveled to California to try his luck during the Gold Rush. He wound up taking a position in San Francisco with a St. Louis banking company. His business career, however, was severely damaged by the Panic of 1857. He found himself unemployed but was helped out by two friends from his West Point days, Braxton Bragg and P.G.T. Beauregard--who would later find themselves on the opposite side of Sherman during the Civil War as generals in the Confederate army--who got him a job as the superintendent of a military academy in Louisiana. However, when the Civil War broke out in 1861, Sherman resigned from the academy and rejoined the army as a colonel in that same year.
Sherman was given command of a brigade in the army of Gen. Irvin McDowell and took part in the First Battle of Bull Run, a disastrous defeat for the Union. Despite that, Sherman was promoted to Brigadier General and assigned to Kentucky as second-in-command to Gen. Robert Anderson. He did not fit well into that position and was soon transferred to the army of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, where he served as a division commander. Sherman took part in the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, and his performance so impressed his superiors that he was promoted to the rank of Major General.
Grant and Sherman worked extremely well together They planned and executed the siege and eventual capture of Vicksburg, MS, destroying the Confederate defenses and allowing Union supplies and reinforcements to use the Mississippi River again. Although Sherman suffered a defeat at the Battle of Chickasaw Bluffs, he made up for that by capturing Fort Hindman, a feat that resulted in his being given command of the Union's XV Corps.
President Abraham Lincoln placed Grant in command of the Union Army in the west, and Sherman was promoted to Grant's former position of commander of the Army of the Tennessee. They took part in the Chattanooga campaign in November of 1863. In March of 1864 Grant was given command of all Union armies and Sherman was given command of the military division of the Mississippi, which included three entire armies. Sherman's campaign to invade Georgia began near Chattanooga, TN, in 1864 with 100,000 troops. Opposing Confederate forces were unable to stop them and were steadily pushed back. On Sept. 2 Sherman captured Atlanta, a major Southern industrial center and transportation hub, and its loss seriously damaged the South's war effort.
After capturing Atlanta, Sherman took more than 60,000 troops from his force and led them on the famous "March to the Sea", which was to end at the port city of Savannah. On its way, the army devastated the countryside, destroying railroads, farms, plantations, industrial areas, and anything that the South could use to further its war effort (it was also intended to "bring the war home" to the Southerners who had started the war in the first place). After taking Savannah Sherman turned his forces north through the Carolinas and headed for Virginia. However, the South was unable to continue the war anymore, and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his forces to Grant at Appomattox, VA, on 4/9/1865. Confederate Gen. Joseph Johnston surrendered the remainder of the Southern forces to Sherman on April 26 near Durham, SC, and the war was over.
After hostilities ended, Grant was promoted to four-star general and Sherman was promoted to Lieutenant General. Grant was elected US President in 1869, and he promoted Sherman to Commanding General of the Army, which he held until 1884. He retired to New York City, where he died in 1891. - John Ruskin was born on 8 February 1819 in 54 Hunter Street, Brunswick Square, London, England, UK.

- Jack Luden's story is one of the saddest in Hollywood. He was born as Jacob Benson Luden in Reading, Pennsylvania, with a silver spoon in his mouth; his uncle was the millionaire founder of Luden's Cough Drops and he attended the finest schools on the east coast. But he was restless, possessing an impulsive rebellious streak and opted for an acting career. Against enormous odds, he won a contest to attend the Paramount Pictures' School of Acting on Long Island, New York in 1925 where he stood in good stead with classmates Thelma Todd and future all-American star, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers. Paramount ordered him to Hollywood the following year and he acted in various films both there and on loan to FBO during the sound transition period. His personal heyday lasted for about 3 years; his studio had faith and patience in him, and he earned enough money to indulge his passion for sailing, and bought a boat. Possessing good looks, passable voice and a degree of acting talent, he should have been on the fast track toward stardom but his studio faced hard times after 1930 and somehow Luden was lost in the shuffle. More seriously, he acquired a heroin habit (possibly as early as 1929) and found it impossible to keep it hidden. Released from his Paramount contract --- some accounts claim he simply walked out --- having never achieved stardom, Luden found himself adrift and was known to commit wholesale shoplifting to support his drug habit. His life between 1930-36 is largely a mystery. He apparently gave up any pretext of hiding his drug addiction. His father died in the mid-1930s and his immediate family, by what accounts there are, expressed dismay over his lifestyle. He was reputedly arrested several times during this period for petty theft, but details are lacking and there's no indication that anyone ever associated his crimes to his faded Hollywood career. Luden somehow managed to re-enter the film business and came to the attention of veteran low-budget Gower Gulch producer, Larry Darmour who rode on the coattails of Columbia's ascent out of the ranks of Poverty Row studios. Columbia boss Harry Cohn was loathe to ignore the profits to be mined in Saturday afternoon matinées and gave Darmour a unit. His features were budgeted at $100,000 or less and, typical for the era, he sought to brand his western stars, making them more easily marketable to kids. This was Luden's second and last big break. He was cast as "Breezy" through four productions in 1938. Relatively speaking, Columbia's western efforts were top notch entertainment compared to the cinematic gruel spewing from the likes of its neighbors along Gower (an arguable exception would be Republic, despite its far lower budgets). Whether Darmour or Cohn were initially aware of the extent of his drug addiction is open to speculation, but it's probable that his relative obscurity in Hollywood was initially considered an asset since his police record didn't prevent him from this last stab at stardom. In any event, Luden once again failed to click with the targeted audience and he was cut from Columbia. He ended his film career in the early 1940s making minor, uncredited walk-ons. He made a half-hearted attempt at forming a film production company in the late 1940s that went nowhere (given his reputation, it was likely a scam). Married three times, he turned to drug dealing to support his increasingly expensive heroin habit. It's easy to speculate how failing in Hollywood affected him, but the undeniable fact was that Luden was completely comfortable being a low-life; his favorite saying was "a crooked buck is sweeter than an honest dollar." Not exactly the desired credo of an actor who once aimed, albeit half-heartedly, to be a cowboy star and idol of children. He was arrested for possession and writing bad checks and was sent to San Quentin State Pennitentiary. Luden, ultimately his own worst enemy, died there 9 months into his sentence from a heart attack at age 49 in 1951.

- Born Karl Tanzler in Dresden, Germany he abandoned his wife and children in 1927 to move to Key West, Florida, where he changed his name to Carl Von Cosel and added "Count" to his title. He also claimed to have had 19 different degrees though none were substantiated. Von Cosel worked for several years in a hospital that was full of patients sick and dying from tuberculosis (which was then incurable). In 1933 one of his patients was 22 year old Elena Hoyos whom fell in love with Elena and did everything he could to try and save her. But there was nothing he could do and she passed away. Not long after her funeral Von Cosel got permission from her family to place Elena's body in a casket full of formaldehyde. His daily visits to her crypt began to make people take notice. Then one day Dr. Von Cosel stopped coming by many assumed that he had died. That was until he turned up in another part of town, having moved and bought a small house near the sea. Keeping to himself, Von Cosel lived a private life for years and neighbors only saw him when he went back and forth with large packages. They also said that they could hear him singing and playing his organ late into the night. Elena's sister grew suspicious and sought out Von Cosel when the cemetery reported that her casket was missing. Confronting the doctor at his house she demanded to know what happened to her sister and Von Cosel showed him, the body was upstairs in his bed. He was arrested and given a psychological evaluation but because the statute of limitations on molesting a grave was only two years (this was seven years later) no charges could be filed against him. In 1972 it was made public that Von Cosel had stolen Elena's body and taken it home where he treated it with oil and wax and attempted to rebuild her body as it decomposed, even giving her glass eyes and making her a wig out of her hair. He had made a puppet-like death mask of Elena to preserve her beauty. Von Cosel was released when he was found to be sane but to this day still remains a curiosity. Elena's body was buried and encased in cement in an undisclosed, unmarked grave where Von Cosel couldn't find her again. The death mask was put on display in a local museum when the case became local folklore. It was stolen some time later and turned up in 1952 on the floor of Von Cosel's home lying next to his dead body.

James Byron Dean was born February 8, 1931 in Marion, Indiana, to Mildred Marie (Wilson) and Winton A. Dean, a farmer turned dental technician. His mother died when Dean was nine, and he was subsequently raised on a farm by his aunt and uncle in Fairmount, Indiana. After grade school, he moved to New York to pursue his dream of acting. He received rave reviews for his work as the blackmailing Arab boy in the New York production of Gide's "The Immoralist", good enough to earn him a trip to Hollywood. His early film efforts were strictly small roles: a sailor in the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis overly frantic musical comedy Sailor Beware (1952); a GI in Samuel Fuller's moody study of a platoon in the Korean War, Fixed Bayonets! (1951) and a youth in the Piper Laurie-Rock Hudson comedy Has Anybody Seen My Gal (1952).
He had major roles in only three movies. In the Elia Kazan production of John Steinbeck's East of Eden (1955) he played Cal Trask, the bad brother who could not force affection from his stiff-necked father. His true starring role, the one which fixed his image forever in American culture, was that of the brooding red-jacketed teenager Jim Stark in Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without a Cause (1955). George Stevens' filming of Edna Ferber's Giant (1956), in which he played the non-conforming cowhand Jett Rink who strikes it rich when he discovers oil, was just coming to a close when Dean, driving his Porsche Spyder race car, collided with another car while on the road near Cholame, California on September 30, 1955. He had received a speeding ticket just two hours before. At age 24, James Dean was killed almost immediately from the impact from a broken neck. His very brief career, violent death and highly publicized funeral transformed him into a cult object of apparently timeless fascination.- Viktor Perest-Petrenko was born on 8 February 1914. He was an actor, known for Heroes Are Made (1942). He died on 21 June 1956 in Moscow, RSFSR, USSR [now Russia].
