"William Tecumseh Sherman: A Complex Figure of the American Civil War" This vintage Civil War print captures General William Tecumseh Sherman, a prominent figure in American history. Known for his infamous March to the Sea, he led Union troops through Georgia, plundering plantations along the way. The image showcases his determination and strategic brilliance. In Washington DC stands a monument dedicated to General Sherman, overlooking the US Treasury Building. This iconic statue symbolizes his significant contributions as an American soldier, businessman, educator, and author. His legacy extends beyond military achievements. New York City also pays tribute to this remarkable man with another monument by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It serves as a reminder of Sherman's impact on both national and local levels during one of America's darkest periods. Born in 1820 and passing away in 1891, William Tecumseh Sherman left an indelible mark on history. As a general in the Union Army during the Civil War, he played a crucial role in shaping its outcome. This portrait from The Review of Reviews published shortly after his death immortalizes him as a legendary figure. Various photographs depict different stages of General Sherman's life; some taken between 1855 and 1865 show him before or during the war years when he was rising through ranks within the army. These images offer glimpses into his transformation from an unknown soldier to one of great influence. The album containing over 200 cartes de visite includes sepia photos captured around 1865 by Brady himself – showcasing various aspects of life during that time period including Shermans' march through Georgia accompanied by contrabands seeking freedom from slavery. Sherman's March from Savannah to Bentonville remains etched in history books as one of the most daring military campaigns ever undertaken. It demonstrated not only his tactical genius but also highlighted important social issues surrounding slavery and emancipation during that era.
