About the author
Born in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1820, William Tecumseh Sherman became a businessman, educator, author, and career army officer. After graduating from the United States Military Academy in 1840, he served in the U.S. Army and later entered civilian life before returning to military service during the Civil War.
Sherman rose to prominence as a Union commander at Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and during the 1864 March to the Sea. Known for his aggressive strategy and controversial hard-war tactics, he became one of the most important Union leaders of the conflict.
After the war, Sherman continued serving in the army and became its commanding general. His Memoirs, published in 1875, provide a detailed personal account of his early life, military career, and experiences during the Civil War.
