Sherman's March To The Sea, And The Burning Of Columbia, South Carolina, From His MemoirsWilliam Tecumseh Sherman (1820 - 1891) This librivox recording comprises part of chapter 22 and all of chapter 23 (The March To The Sea – From Atlanta To Savannah – November And December 1864) of American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Memoirs. Sherman was one of the premier generals fighting for the North. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the western theater of the war. He proceeded to lead his troops to the capture of the city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman's subsequent march through Georgia and the Carolinas further undermined the Confederacy's ability to continue fighting. He accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865. Sherman’s scorched earth policy marching his army through Georgia from conquered Atlanta to coastal Savannah was a strong factor in breaking the South’s will to fight. The South’s surrender came just five months later. He steadfastly refused to be drawn into politics and in 1875 published his Memoirs, one of the best-known first-hand accounts of the American Civil War. British military historian B. H. Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was "the first modern general" ( Wikipedia and david wales) Genre(s): *Non-fiction, War & Military, Biography & Autobiography Language: English SECTIONCHAPTERREADERTIMEPlay00Two PrefacesDavid Wales00:06:53Play01Chapter 20 (Partial) Atlanta And After – Pursuit of Hood – September and October 1864David Wales00:12:45Play02Chapter 21 The March To The Sea From Atlanta To Savannah, November And December 1864 Part 1David Wales00:30:58Play03Chapter 21 The March To The Sea From Atlanta To Savannah, November And December 1864 Part 2David Wales00:27:59Play04Chapter 21 The March To The Sea From Atlanta To Savannah, November And December 1864 Part 3David Wales00:38:47Play05Chapter 21 The March To The Sea From Atlanta To Savannah, November And December 1864 Part 4David Wales00:27:51Play06Chapter 21 The March To The Sea From Atlanta To Savannah, November And December 1864 Part 5David Wales00:26:06Play07Chapter 23 (Partial) Campaign Of The Carolinas 2.

Sherman’s Recollections of California, 1846-1848, 1855-1857, from his MemoirsWilliam Tecumseh Sherman (1820 - 1891) This LibriVox recording comprises three chapters from American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Memoirs. The chapters deal with a posting to California in his pre-Civil War military career in the years 1846-1848. While many of his colleagues saw action in the Mexican-American War, Sherman performed administrative duties in the captured territory of California. Along with fellow Lieutenants Henry Halleck and Edward Ord, Sherman embarked from New York on the 198-day journey around Cape Horn aboard the converted sloop USS Lexington. Due to the confined spaces aboard-ship, Sherman grew close to Halleck and Ord, and in his Memoirs references a hike with Halleck to the summit of Corcovado, notable as the future spot of the Cristo Redentor statue. Sherman and Ord reached the town of Yerba Buena, in California, two days before its name was changed to San Francisco. In 1848, Sherman accompanied the military governor of California, Col. Richard Barnes Mason, in the inspection that officially confirmed that gold had been discovered in the region, thus inaugurating the California Gold Rush. Sherman, along with Ord, assisted in surveys for the sub-divisions of the town that would become Sacramento. In 1853 Sherman resigned from the Army. In 1855-1857 he was in California as part of his bank duties. He returned to the Army in May 1861. Sherman was one of the premier generals fighting for the North in the Civil War. [Sherman] steadfastly refused to be drawn into politics and in 1875 published his Memoirs, one of the best-known first-hand accounts of the Civil War. British military historian B. H. Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was "the first modern general".
