Savannah Sherman


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures General William T. Sherman as he stands amidst the ruins of Savannah, Georgia in December 1864. Following his famous March to the Sea, Sherman's Union army had arrived in Savannah on December 10, 1864, and the city surrendered on December 21. The Union victory in Savannah secured the Union's control of the vital port city and the Southern Atlantic coastline. In this photograph, Sherman is shown wearing a heavy overcoat and a fur hat, his face etched with the lines of exhaustion and determination that had become familiar to the people of the South. Behind him, the smoldering ruins of Savannah stretch out as far as the eye can see. The once-grand mansions and elegant homes, now reduced to charred timbers and rubble, serve as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war. The mood of the scene is somber and reflective, with the general's expression conveying a sense of weary resignation. Yet, there is also a hint of determination in his eyes, as if to suggest that the long and arduous journey towards reuniting the nation was far from over. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history, one that would forever change the course of the Civil War and the fate of the United States. This powerful image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the indelible mark it leaves on the landscape and the people who inhabit it. The ruins of Savannah stand as a testament to the destructive power of conflict, while Sherman's stoic presence serves as a reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the resilience of those who have faced adversity.
