Book excerpt: The lyrics for the popular song, released in 1865 commemorating Sherman's March:?Our camp fires shone bright on the mountainThat frowned on the river below, While we stood by our guns in the morning, And eagerly watched for the foe, When a rider came out from the darknessThat hung over mountains and tree, And shouted, "Boys, up and be ready, For Sherman will march to the sea."?When cheer upon cheer for bold ShermanWent up from each valley and glen, And the bugle re-echoed the musicThat came from the lips of the men, For we knew that the stars on our bannerMore bright in their splendor would be, And that blessings from Northland would greet usAs Sherman marched down to the sea. Then forward, boys, forward, to battle, We marched on our wearysome way, And we strewed the wild hills of Resaca?God bless those who fell on that day. Then Kennesaw, dark in its glory, Frowned down on the flag of the free;But the East and the West bore our standardAs Sherman marched down to the sea.?Still onward we pressed till our bannerSwept out from Atlanta?s grim walls, And the blood of the patriot dampenedThe soil where traitor?s flag falls. But we paused not to weep for the fallenWho slept by each river and tree;Yet we twined them wreaths of the laurelAs Sherman marched down to the sea. Proud, proud was our army that morningThat stood by the cypress and pineWhen Sherman said, "Boys, you are weary;This day fair Savannah is thine, "Then sang we a song for our chieftainThat echoed o?er river and lea, And the stars on our banner shone brighterWhen Sherman marched on to the sea.

Download or read book Sherman s March in Myth and Memory written by Edward Caudill and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-08-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating "March to the Sea" in 1864 burned a swath through the cities and countryside of Georgia and into the history of the American Civil War. As they moved from Atlanta to Savannah--destroying homes, buildings, and crops; killing livestock; and consuming supplies--Sherman and the Union army ignited not only southern property, but also imaginations, in both the North and the South. By the time of the general's death in 1891, when one said "The March," no explanation was required. That remains true today. Legends and myths about Sherman began forming during the March itself, and took more definitive shape in the industrial age in the late-nineteenth century. Sherman's March in Myth and Memory examines the emergence of various myths surrounding one of the most enduring campaigns in the annals of military history. Edward Caudill and Paul Ashdown provide a brief overview of Sherman's life and his March, but their focus is on how these myths came about--such as one description of a "60-mile wide path of destruction"--and how legends about Sherman and his campaign have served a variety of interests. Caudill and Ashdown argue that these myths have been employed by groups as disparate as those endorsing the Old South aristocracy and its "Lost Cause," and by others who saw the March as evidence of the superiority of industrialism in modern America over a retreating agrarianism. Sherman's March in Myth and Memory looks at the general's treatment in the press, among historians, on stage and screen, and in literature, from the time of the March to the present day. The authors show us the many ways in which Sherman has been portrayed in the media and popular culture, and how his devastating March has been stamped into our collective memory.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A gripping, definitive account of Sherman’s legendary and destructive march through Georgia. “Mr. Trudeau’s narrative is peppered with trenchant observations from Sherman, one of history’s more quotable military leaders. . . . Mr. Trudeau accomplishes what he set out to do: march through the experience in all its detail.” — The Wall Street Journal In Southern Storm, award-winning Civil War historian Noah Andre Trudeau has written a fascinating account that will stand as the last word on General William Tecumseh Sherman’s epic march—a targeted strategy aimed to break not only the Confederate army but an entire society as well. In rich detail, Trudeau explains why General Sherman’s name is still anathema below the Mason-Dixon Line, especially in Georgia, where he is remembered as “the one who marched to the sea with death and devastation in his wake.” Told through the intimate and engrossing diaries and letters of Sherman’s soldiers and the civilians who suffered in their path, Southern Storm paints a vivid picture of an event that would forever change the course of America.
