Ward, Frederick Townsend

(1831–62) soldier of fortune; born in Salem, Mass. Sent to sea at age 15 as punishment by his father, he soon became a mercenary—with William Walker in Mexico, with Garibaldi in Italy, and with the French in the Crimean War. In 1859 he arrived in a China torn by civil war; he offered his services to the Manchu Dynasty leaders and during the next three years he led Chinese troops to many victories. Quick to adopt new methods of warfare and armor, concerned for his troops, he was fearless and tireless in combat (he was wounded 15 times) and was killed in a battle at Tzeki.
