Sherman's staff during the March to the Sea and through the Carolinas. He recorded this journey through a journal he kept all through the campaign. The journal provides a different perspective than the one given by the Confederate officials both civilian and military whose purpose was scare tactics to drive the civilian population to fight the invaders. It also records many of the harsh treatment by Wheeler's forces to the civilian population. Good source that documents another perspective. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Tomorrow morning we set out on a campaign which will be remembered. God grant it aid to bring to a speedy end this terrible and lamentable war!" So wrote Major Henry Hitchcock on the eve of General William Sherman's epic march across Georgia to the sea. Hitchcock, a new member of Sherman's staff, was right about the fame, or infamy, that would attach to the campaign. His diaries and letters describe at first hand the destructive swath Sherman's army cut through Georgia and the Carolinas. The major, religious and trained in the law, watches the burning and pillage with as much sorrow as satisfaction. If his sympathy for the Southern people is strong, so is his devotion to the Union and its unstoppable general. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
