Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909) and Philip Kearny, Jr. (1815-1862).
On June 1, 1862, Howard lost his right arm in the Battle of Fair Oaks. He was visited by Kearny, who had lost his left arm in the Battle of Churubusco August 20, 1847. Howard joked, "I want to make a bargain with you, General, that hereafter we buy our gloves together".
