1892 Personal Memoirs of General W Tecumseh Sherman Civil War Tactics Union Army
“It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”
― William T. Sherman
The best of all personal war memoirs! (Larned)
William Tecumseh Sherman was 19th-century American military officer, known for his service as a Union Army general during the Civil War. In 1875, seeking to stay out of politics, Sherman published his ‘Memoirs’, which would become of the best-known, first-hand accounts of the American Civil War. This important autobiography includes summaries of political stances on slavery, encouraging slaves to try to escape, even though he did not want their help in the military. His military philosophy was clear, as quoted in ‘Memoirs’:
“My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us.”
This two-volume work is filled with military tactics and strategy, accounts of army marches, battles, encounters with Confederate authorities, and most importantly, Sherman’s own attitude toward war.
