Summary "Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman, Volume II, Part 4" by William T. Sherman is a historical account reflecting on the Civil War era, specifically during the late 19th century. This volume details Sherman’s military campaigns, particularly his famous "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah in late 1864. The narrative is likely to focus on military strategies, the organization of troops, and the impact of this destructive campaign on both the Southern landscape and the war's progress. The opening of this volume sets the stage for Sherman's military operations as he breaks communication with the rear, mobilizes his forces, and embarks on a strategic path toward Savannah. It introduces the structure of his army divided into two wings commanded by experienced generals, demonstrating his attention to detail in troop organization and logistics. As the campaign progresses, Sherman describes the challenges of foraging, the destruction of enemy resources, and the morale of his men as they embark on this significant mission, all while highlighting encounters with locals, illustrating the human side of war amidst the calculated military maneuvers.
