Marching with Sherman: Through Georgia and the Carolinas with
the 154th New York presents an innovative and provocative study of
the most notorious campaigns of the Civil War -- Union General
William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating 1864 "March to the Sea" and
the 1865 Carolinas Campaign. The book follows the 154th New York
regiment through three states and chronicles 150 years, from the
start of the campaigns to their impact today. Mark H. Dunkelman
expands on the brief accounts of Sherman's marches found in
regimental histories with an in-depth look at how one northern unit
participated in the campaigns and how they remembered them decades
later. Dunkelman also includes the often-overlooked perspective of
southerners -- most of them women -- who encountered the soldiers
of the 154th New York. In examining the postwar reminiscences of
those staunch Confederate daughters, Dunkelman identifies the myths
and legends that have flourished in the South for more than a
century. Marching with Sherman concludes with Dunkelman's own trip
along the 154th New York's route through Dixie -- echoing the
accounts of previous travelers -- and examining the memories of the
marches that linger today.
