An exceptional leather bound copy of this classic Civil War autobiography.“Penned with intelligence and passion, [Sherman’s Memoirs] cover the periods of birth to the Meridian Expedition early in 1864 (Volume I) and the remainder of the war to the commander’s first decade following the war (Volume II)… The memoirs frankly describe the rights and wrongs of the Civil War campaigns Sherman experienced, without regard to stepping on the feelings of others. The work is not unduly harsh, but is unwaveringly honest (as the author viewed these events)… The writing in this work is enjoyable, more so than the average soldier’s memoirs, and the enlightened opinions of the second-ranking Federal officer on a multitude of operations make the work invaluable” (Eicher 576). The distinctive “shoulder-strap” binding was uniform with several other memoirs by Civil War generals, including those by Grant and Sheridan. Complete with all 15 folding maps (five in Volume I; 10 in Volume II), frontispiece and steel-engraved portraits. Volume II with two leaves of publisher’s ads bound in at rear.
