About This Book

After assuming command of the Military Division of the Mississippi in March 1864, Sherman describes reassigning senior officers and preparing for a spring invasion of Georgia. He inspects forces from Nashville to Chattanooga and Knoxville, consolidates corps, and places railway transportation under centralized control to equalize supplies. Emphasis is placed on engineering, repair parties, provost duties, and guarding supply routes and bridges as the armies ready themselves. Intelligence reports locate the enemy entrenched at Dalton, prompting deliberate logistical planning and the setting of May 1 as the date for the planned forward movement.

About the Author

Sherman, William T. portrait

William T. Sherman

William Tecumseh Sherman was a prominent Union general during the American Civil War, known for his military strategy and leadership. His most notable work, "Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman," provides a detailed account of his experiences and insights during the war, reflecting on both military tactics and the broader implications of conflict. Sherman's candid writing style and critical perspective on warfare have contributed significantly to American military literature. His campaigns, particularly the infamous "March to the Sea," showcased his belief in total war, which aimed to undermine the enemy's will to fight. Sherman's legacy continues to influence military strategy and historical discourse.
