Description
Nicholas Tillinghast (1804-1856) was the founding principal of the State Normal School at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. While his accomplishments as an educator and administrator are well-known, his earlier U.S. Army career is less-well documented. This article examines both Tillinghast’s experiences at West Point as a student and instructor and his career as an Army officer serving at Fort Gibson in the Indian Territory.
