Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Sherman General Sherman was the most picturesque figure in the civil war. His character was absolutely pure and spotless. He had a vigorous and penetrating intellect, prompt and clear in comprehension and in decision. While steadfast in his opinions, he was subordinate in conduct; he held to his judgment in issue against President Lincoln, but yielded as unquestioning obedience to Mc-Clernand as to Grant. He was an omnivorous reader, and was a storehouse of felicitous anecdote. His cheerful disposition and inexhaustible fund of conversation made him always a delightful companion. Frank as a child and outspoken in his likes and dislikes, Sherman was often engaged in controversy. The war filled only a few years of his life, but comprised most of his activity and achievements. Accordingly, his biography naturally groups itself into these parts - before, during, and after the war, and so it is written, in the following pages. The effort in this narrative has been to give in the simplest form a statement of the facts without comment. The completion of the publication of the First Series of the War Records gives opportunity for a fair approximation to a correct statement.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of General William T. Sherman As a soldier of the Union, General Sherman, by common consent, stands second only in a galaxy of great commanders such as no single cycle in the annals of time can parallel. This is the verdict of the most superficial reader and of the most diligent student of history. A reference to the official list of battles, skirmishes, and other contests, from April 15, 1861, to the close of the war, develops the astounding fact that for every day, including Sundays, of those four years there were at least three of these struggles. If in such a death grapple General Sherman rose to the highest rank among the victors, it cannot but be interesting to turn back to the circumstances of his parentage and scan the surroundings of his youth to find, if we can, the formative influences which moulded the plastic tendencies of his nature into the lofty and harmonious individuality which marked him out for eminent leadership. Both his father and grandfather had been learned in the law. His father not only mastered the intricacies of Coke and Littleton, but made himself familiar with whatever was worthy of reading outside of the books of the law, and was therefore fitted to shine in the domain of general literature as well as in the realm of technical jurisprudence. It was this gifted man who, when his third son was born, proposed to bestow upon him the name of a celebrated chieftain - as if seeing the child's future military career. Judge Sherman entertained a warm admiration for the celebrated Indian chief Tecumseh. This singular Indian was gifted with rare endowments, which gave him great prominence amongst his tribal allies, and a commanding influence over his followers of the forest. Nature had made him a soldier, and he was a statesman by intuition. Farseeing in plan, wary to win, sagacious to combine, and inflexible to execute, these qualities made him a formidable leader and also a dangerous opponent. He was not habitually ruthless or cruel in his warfare; on the contrary, many acts of mercy, of generous chivalric protection, are recorded of him that would grace the annals of the knight errantry of old.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Memorial Life of General William Tecumseh Sherman It was to be expected that veterans of the Civil War would be interested in any full and accurate life of General Sher man. This would especially be true oi those who were under his command, or in any way participated in the campaigns with which his world - wide fame was associated. But in read ing the proof-pages of the present work, the writer has not only been deeply interested in the narratives of battles and campaigns, in which he was more or less closely associated with General Sherman, but has received new impressions of the General's character, and has found that other periods of his life, comparatively little known, possess an absorbing interest. There was never anything commonplace about Sherman. As a boy, a youth at West Point, or in his first Indian campaigning in Florida, a young Officer in California, or afterward as a banker in San Francisco, not many years later at the head of the State Military School of Louisiana, as commander of a brigade at the first battle of Bull Run, or in his more responsible position, better known to the pub lic during the remainder of the war, there is a picturesque and striking quality, that must always compel the attention, if not the admiration, of the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tribute to General William Tecumseh Sherman The just sentiment of a grateful people has set apart this clay in remembrance of those who gave their lives for their country, in the day of its extreme peril. Our laws confirm its observance. It is thus, in part, that the Republic seeks to honor those who fought and fell in its defense, and who, by their valor and self-sacrifice, secured its present unparalleled greatness. To some here present, the observance of this day is nothing more than a memorial of a time in the past, which has a general but no personal interest for them. At best, they are curious to learn of it from those who were eye witnesses of its scenes. But to others, companions in arms of those who died, it is more than a memorial. It is a day of sacred and tender memories, and it calls us to the fulfillment of a duty which we owe to the dead. Others may forget them, but we cannot, and be true to our better selves. We are carried back to the time when we marched with them to the throb of the drum, and waked with them at the bugles call. Over us was the flag, red as the wrath of a great people in the hour of their just anger, and the thunderous sound of battle smote our ears. Again we see the faces of our comrades bright with smiles, around the camp fire; or shadowed with pensive thought as they look far away over hill tops and valleys, to the dear homes they had left behind; or transfigured in the fierce light of battle; or pale in death, when the bloody strife was over. They shared our trials, they cheered us on our way with their brave words, they died that we might live. We caught their last whispered words of love, and sent their last messages to those who were waiting in agony of suspense, for tidings from the camp or battle field. They are the spent ammunition of the war; we, that which was carried back in caison and cartridge box. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Major General William T. Sherman, and His Campaigns "Never name your child after a living man," said a very wise man to the author of this volume. As we do not know what the future of any man will be, it may be unwise to honor him by giving his name to your child. For a similar reason, it may be injudicious to write the history of a living man. Whatever the future history of General W. T. Sherman may be, the world witnesseth that he has carved out for himself a name and a place in history, and won a home in the hearts of his countrymen, that can never be blotted out. It is our hope and prayer to God, that no act of his in the future may tarnish his great name and heroic deeds. It is because General Sherman has occupied so prominent a place in many of the most important and stirring scenes of the great war against the rebellion, that we have endeavored to cull the most important facts and incidents, and make as full and fair a record of them as can now be done, in order that as little as possible of valuable history may be lost to posterity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Sherman in the Last Year of the Civil War: An Address Delivered at the Thirty-Eighth Reunion of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee at St. Louis, Missouri Without pretensions to oratory and without the ability to describe from knowledge experiences or campaigns in that great war, whose memories it is the object of these reunions to perpetuate, I am at a disadvantage compared with those who have delivered the addresses upon previous occasions. Thus handicapped, I have contented myself with preparing a condensed narrative of the acts and operations of my father, General Wm. Tecumseh Sherman, during the last year of the war, in which I have attempted to explain his opinions and motives in the light of tradition and of information derived from private or unpublished papers. I can present little that is new, perhaps nothing new of historical importance, yet I hope that what I have to present may prove not altogether uninteresting. When in February, 1864, General Grant was appointed to the command of all the Union armies and went East to direct personally the operations of the Army of the Potomac in Virginia, he left my father, General Sherman, to succeed him in command of the Military Division of the Mississippi, which comprised, roughly, all the territory between the Alleghany Mountains, the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and the Gulf. The number of soldiers borne on its rolls mounted high into the hundreds of thousands; but many of them were sick or at home on furlough, or were recruits or trainmen or teamsters.

General Buell and his officers had been subjected to a long ordeal by a court of inquiry, touching their conduct of the campaign in Tennessee and Kentucky, that resulted in the battle of Perry ville, or Chaplin's Hills, October 8, 1862, and they had been substantially acquitted; and, as it was manifest that we were to have some hard fighting, we were anxious to bring into harmony every man and every officer of skill in the profession of arms. Of these, Generals Buell and mcclellan were prominent in rank, and also by reason of their fame acquired in Mexico, as well as in the earlier part of the civil war.
