William Tecumseh Sherman

William Tecumseh Sherman was a Union general known for campaigns that targeted the Confederacy’s military resources and capacity to continue war. He helped win at Vicksburg and Chattanooga, captured Atlanta and led the March to the Sea and campaign through the Carolinas.

In Jeff Shaara’s A Blaze of Glory, Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman and their inexperienced soldiers do not expect the scale of the attack that reaches their camps on 6 April. In John Jakes’s Savannah, Hattie’s determination brings her into direct conflict with Sherman as soldiers, reporters, local officials and displaced civilians converge on the city. Other novels featuring William Tecumseh Sherman include Griff Hosker’s Rebel Raiders, John Jakes’s The Warriors, John Jakes’s Love and War, Griff Hosker’s Confederate Rangers, and Griff Hosker’s The Road to Gettysburg.
