Memoirs of W.T. Sherman by himself.
New York: Charles L. Webster & Company, 1892. Fourth Edition. Revised, Corrected and Complete. A Very Good plus set in green cloth binding with gilt stamping to the front cover and the spine. Bookplate present on front pastedown. Two volumes complete, with the fold out maps present. Hailed as a prophet of modern war and condemned as a harbinger of modern barbarism, Sherman is the most controversial general of the Civil War. "War is cruelty, you cannot refine it," he wrote in fury to the Confederate mayor of Atlanta, and his memoir is filled with dozens of such wartime exchanges and a fascinating, eerie account of the famous march through the Carolinas.
