EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intensity and determination of Major General William T. Sherman during the American Civil War. Sherman, born on February 8, 1820, in Lancaster, Ohio, rose to prominence as one of the Union Army's most effective commanders. Known for his "March to the Sea" and "March through the Carolinas," Sherman's military strategies played a significant role in the eventual Union victory. During the early years of the Civil War, Sherman served under General Ulysses S. Grant in the Western Theater. His leadership during the Battle of Shiloh in 1862 earned him a promotion to command the Army of the Tennessee. Sherman's innovative tactics, such as the "scorched earth" policy, left a lasting impact on the war, as he systematically destroyed Confederate infrastructure and resources. The image of Sherman depicted in this photograph was likely taken between 1860 and 1870, during the height of his military career. The general's piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of focus and resolve. His military uniform, complete with epaulets and sash, further emphasize his status as a high-ranking officer. Sherman's contributions to the Union cause extended beyond the battlefield. He was a proponent of education and reconstruction, advocating for the establishment of schools and the extension of civil rights to newly freed slaves. This portrait serves as a testament to Sherman's indomitable spirit and enduring legacy as a pivotal figure in American history.
