The first major modern edition of the wartime correspondence of
General William T. Sherman, this volume features more than 400
letters written between the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and
the day Sherman bade farewell to his troops in 1865. Together, they
trace Sherman's rise from obscurity to become one of the Union's
most famous and effective warriors. Arranged chronologically and
grouped into chapters that correspond to significant phases in
Sherman's life, the letters--many of which have never before been
published--reveal Sherman's thoughts on politics, military
operations, slavery and emancipation, the South, and daily life in
the Union army, as well as his reactions to such important figures
as General Ulysses S. Grant and President Lincoln. Lively, frank,
opinionated, discerning, and occasionally extremely wrong-headed,
these letters mirror the colorful personality and complex mentality
of the man who wrote them. They offer the reader an invaluable
glimpse of the Civil War as Sherman saw it.
