For years the Ewing family of Ohio has been lost in the historical
shadow cast by their in-law, General William T. Sherman. In the era
of the Civil War, it was the Ewing family who raised Sherman, got
him into West Point, and provided him with the financial resources
and political connections to succeed in war. The patriarch, Thomas
Ewing, counseled presidents and clashed with radical abolitionists
and southern secessionists leading to the Civil War. Three Ewing
sons became Union generals, served with distinction at Antietam and
Vicksburg, marched through Georgia, and fought guerrillas in
Missouri. The Ewing family stood at the center of the Northern
debate over emancipation, fought for the soul of the Republican
Party, and waged total war against the South. In Civil War Dynasty,
Kenneth J. Heineman brings to life this drama of political intrigue
and military valor-warts and all. This work is a military,
political, religious, and family history, told against the backdrop
of disunion, war, violence, and grief.
