These are in process of compila-tion ; but, at the rate of progress for the past ten years, it isprobable that a new century will come before they are pub-lished and circulated, with full indexes to enable the historianto make a judicious selection of materials. "What is now offered is not designed as a history of the war,or even as a complete account of all the incidents in which thewriter bore a part, but merely his recollection of events, cor-rected by a reference to his own memoranda, which may assistthe future historian when he comes to describe the whole, andaccount for the motives and reasons which influenced some ofthe actors in the grand drama of war." Before his spectacular career as General of the Union forces, William Tecumseh Sherman experienced decades of failure and depression. Drifting between the Old South and new West, Sherman witnessed firsthand many of the critical events of early nineteenth-century America: the Mexican War, the gold rush, the banking panics, and the battles with the Plains Indians. It wasn't until his victory at Shiloh, in 1862, that Sherman assumed his legendary place in American history. After Shiloh, Sherman sacked Atlanta and proceeded to burn a trail of destruction that split the Confederacy and ended the war. His strategy forever changed the nature of warfare and earned him eternal infamy throughout the South. Sherman's Memoirs evoke the uncompromising and deeply complex general as well as the turbulent times that transformed America into a world power. "Because [Sherman] was a ruthlessly sharp intellect and a writer of considerable power, his memoirs succeed in presenting a vivid picture not only of his actions and reactions, but of the world through which he moved with wit and bluster and broadsword."--Michael Fellman CONTENTS - VOLUME I.
