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.

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.

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.

DEATH AND THE GRAVE. With the death of Sherman the title of " General" completely disappears from our military system. It has been held by three men only. It was created in 1866 by act of Congress, and conferred upon Grant. Sherman then succeeded Grant as Lieutenant-General, and when the latter took his seat as President in March, 1869, the former became General of the Army. In 1884 Sherman was put on the retired list with the title which he held to the time of his death In the active service the office by provision of law became vacant, and the title extinct, Sheridan being commander of the army with the rank of Lieutenant-General. In 1888, just before Sheridan's death, the rank of Lieutenant-General was abolished, and that of General revived, with the understanding that Sheridan should be made General, and the express provision that the title should continue only during his life. Since that time the head of the army has been a MajorGeneral. General Sherman's illness was of little more than a week's duration. Following a taste, natural and cultivated, which he loved to gratify, the General attended the performance of " Poor Jonathan," at the Casino, on Wednesday night, February 4. It was, in fact, a special performance. Invitations had been sent to the military officers of the city, and General Sherman occupied one of the proscenium boxes with a party of friends. He seemed 5 to be in the best of health and spirits, and gave every evidence of keen enjoyment of the opera. He returned to his home immediately after the performance, and, although the weather was clear and cold, in some way the General caught a severe cold. Its first effects were noticed on the following morning. His condition, however, did not prevent his...
