William Tecumseh Sherman is known primarily for having cut a
swath of destruction through Georgia and the Carolinas during the
Civil War. From the fame of these years, however, he moved into an
eighteen-year phase of "insuring the tranquility" of the vast
region of the American West. As commander of the Division of the
Missouri from 1865 to 1869 and General of the Army of the United
States under President Grant from 1869 to 1883, Sherman facilitated
expansion and settlement in the West while suppressing the raids of
the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa, Comanche, and Crow Indians. Robert
G. Athearn explores Sherman's and his army's roles in the settling
of the West, especially within the broad framework of railroad
construction, Indian policy, political infighting, and popular
opinion.
