Henry Coppée was born in Savannah Georgia. He studied at Yale University for two years, worked as a civil engineer, and finally graduated from the West Point in 1845. He served in the Mexican-American War as a lieutenant and was brevetted captain for gallantry at the battles of Contreras and Churubusco. During the American Civil War, he edited the United States Service Magazine. Coppée was Assistant Professor of French at West Point from 1848 to 1849, and then Principal Assistant Professor of Geography, History, and Ethics from 1850 to 1855. After resigning from the army, he was the Professor of English literature and History at the University of Pennsylvania from 1855 to 1866. He was selected as the first president of Lehigh University, an office he filled from 1866 to 1875. He also served as the university's president pro tempore twice: for a few months following the resignation of Lehigh's second President John M. Leavitt (1880), and again, at the passing of Robert A. Lamberton in September 1893 to his own death in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on March 22, 1895. Lehigh University's Coppee Hall (built in 1883) was named for him; it was first a gymnasium, later the home of the Department of Arts and Science, and now is home to the Journalism and Communication program. During Coppée's tenure, much building was done on the new campus. Coppée lectured in history, logic, rhetoric, political economy and Shakespeare. As of 27 July 2007, some 542 United States Army Field Manuals were in use. They contain detailed information and how-tos for procedures important to soldiers serving in the field. This Civil War era Field Manual addresses the manual of arms, march in column, Line of Battle, Countermarch, Defile, forming a square, passage of obstacles, Oblique march, skirmishers.
