of a field strewed with dead men and
horses" Thus does Gen. Sherman graph
ically picture his entrance to his first oattle'
Then followed the period OF reorganlza-
ton. Mcclellan was soon in command OF
all the armies of the United States. Sher-
man was made brigadier general, and on
the oath of August was ordered, with his
former classmate, George II. Thomas, to
the department of the Cumberland to re-
port to Gen. Robert Anderson, once cap
tain of the battery in which sherman
served at Fort Moultrie, S. c.
Buckner was at the time supposed to be
marching on Louisville; the state OF Ken
lucky was endeavoring to preserve her
neutrality, and there was a very small
Union force Mt hand with which to make
defense Sherman advanced to Null
draugh's Hill with such volunteers and
home guards rs could be collected. Gen.
Anderson's health was not equal to the
command Of 20 many conflicting elements,
and on the Sth of October, 1881, he pub
Iished an order relinquishing his COM
mand, which fen on Sherman as next in
rank in that department.
It Is impossible for the student of war
history to peruse the record of Sherman's
administration in Kentucky and his subse-
qucnt advance to Atlanta without wonder
ing that the same Sherman acted in both
fields. Sherman in Kentucky found him

II is interesting to note the stock from
which heroes spring. The Sherman family
came from Sussex, England. One branch
produced Roger Sherman, William NJ.
Evarts and George L. IIoar Another gave
us the two brothers, Senator John and Gen.
William TecumSeh Sherman. The father
of these two distinguished men, Charles IT,
Sherman, was Judge of the Ohio supreme
court, and during the war Of 1872 had acted
rs commissary of subsistence. Being
great admircr of the Shawnee chief Te-
cumseh, when the child destined to become
one of the great chicftans Of the civil war
was born Judge Sherman gave him for a
second name "Tecumseh."
William Tccumseh Sherman was born Mt
Lancaster, o., on the sth Of February, 1920.
His father died when he was 8 years old,
and the boy was taken into the family OF
Hon. Thomas Ewing who always treated
him as u son. At the Lancaster academy
he studied the ordinary branches, besides
Latin. Greek and French. Mr.. Ewing be
ing United States senator, and having n
cadets appointment ut his disposal, not-
fed the youngster to prepare for West
Point In 1894, however, Sherman was
employed as rod man with tho engineers
locating the Hooking Valley canal, recciv-
ing n silver half dollar n day for his work.
Leaving Lancaster in the latter part of
May, 1896, he went to Washington to re-
port to Senator Ewing, travelling over the
great National road to Frederick, Nd.
There he was told that he could take cars
to Washington, but mot having faith in
the novel and dangerous railroad" he says
In his memoirs, he stuck to the coach From
Washington he went to Baltimore by rail,
thence by boat TO liavre de Grace, thence by
rail to Wilmington, Del, and thence up
the Delaware by boat to Philadelphia.
After a few days of delightful sightseeing
he took boat to Bordentown, rail to Am
boy, and boat to New York. There he met
William Scott, the husband of ono of his
cousins, "a neatly dressed young fellow"
he says, "who looked on mo as an untamed
animal Just caught in the far west, fit for
gunpowdcr' and nothing else" The steam
err Cotnelus Vanderbilt took him to West
Point, where he arrived on June II.
Sherman WIS u good scholar. He stood
sixth in class Of forty-thrcc, and but for
the dement's for his innttcntion to rules
and regulations would have stood even
higher Upon graduation he was commits

and Sherman had missed an opportunity.
Johnston had but 14,000 men, and with the
force at his command Sherman could have
destroyed him.
While Sherman's march to the sea has,
heen attended with great eclat, his march

Having arrived at Goldsboro SherInaE'
went to Fortress Monroe for an interview
with Gen. Grant and Mr. Lincoln. He
has given the testimony of Admiral Por-'
ter, who WAS present ut the meeting, to
show that Mr. Lincoln was ready to have
almost any terms accepted from Gen.
Johnston rather than have him join Lee
and render the fighting of another battle
necessary. Sherman went back to Colds
boro and announced his plans to his gen
erals. but al! was rendered unnecessary by
the fall of Richmond and Petersburg.
Then it was again feared Lee would at
tempt to join Johnston, and Grant dl'-
rected Sherman to push on, and, i'll co.."
operation with himself, try, us Grant ex-
N essed it, to finish the job" On April
| Il Sherman received the news OF Lees sur
render.
On the morning Of the 1ith of April he
received by flag of truce II letter from Gen.
Johnston proposing to surrender Sher-
man replied that he would make the terms
of AppolnattoX basis. a meeting was ar
ranged between the two generals, and on
the Eth, as Sherman was about de-
parting to keep his engagement, he re
ccved the news of the assassination of
President Lincoln. Sherman met john

all Confederate armies, and that he would

Gen. Sherman thus reports the interview
in his memoirs:
"'Ah,' said Mr.. Lincoln, how are they
getting along down there?' | said, They
are getting along swimmingly-they are
preparing for war; oh, well, said he, Il
guess we'll manage to keep house was
silenced, said no more TO him and soon
left was sadly disappointed, and remem-
Der that broke out on John, damning the
politicians generally, and saying: You've
got things in h of fix, and you may
get them out as best you can, adding that
tho country was sleeping on volcano
that might burst forth Mt any minute, but
that was going to ST. Louis to take care
of my family aud would have nothing to
do with it."
The apparent cheerfulness and hopeful
ness of the president was doubtless dis
couraging then to many others, who did
not know of the load behind it. OF all the
eyes that looked into the future none saw
farther than Mr.. Lncolns.
Sherman was elected president of the
horse railroad, and entered upon his duties
April |, 1861. Twelve days after came the
firing on Sumter. Sherman was offered
the chief clcrkship in the war department
through Montgomery Blair, with a pros
pect of being assistant secretary of war,
but declined. He says Frank Blair init
mated to him that he would secure his ap-
pointment as brigadier general and to the
position Lyon afterward held, but that he
declined this office. For the work to be
done in the field Lyon was perhaps bet
ter man than Sherman. Lyon was ready
to act in those fermenting times when
there was little or nothing to work with,
while Shcrman's strength was only devel-
6ped when the means were at hand and
;ie machinery IN fine working order.
Sherman formally offered his services by
letter to tho secretary of war on May s,
1861. Six days later he was appointed
colonel of one of the new regular regi-
ments, the Thirteenth infantry.

that the crisis with the main army had

engage in the general advance, The oft
told history need not be retoid here.
The Atlanta Campaign.
For his brilliant services in Mississippi
Sherman was made brigadier general in
the regular army, and Was left in com
mand of the division of the Mississippi,
embracing the departments of the Ohio,
Cumberland, Tennessee and Arkansas. The
army Of the Ohio was under Schoiield, that
of the Cumberland under Thomas and
that of the Tennessee under Mcpherson.
On the 10th of April, 1864, the total force
of these three armies was $4,000 men-on
paper Those present for duty were $780,
600. Out of this force Sherman prepared
100000 men for active operations, leaving
10000 to guard the immense territory, the
lines of communication, railroads, bridges,
depots, etc, behind him. The force of en-
gines and cars required to carry food for
his army he estimated at 100 locomotives
and 1000 cars.
There were but 60 locomotives and 600
cars at hand. Sherman instructed his mas
ter of transportation to hold all rolling
stock arriving from Louisville at Nash
vile. In this way he accumulated suiii-
cient cars and engines to transport food to
his armies.
Gen. Joseph L. Johnston was in his front
with an army of $4,000 men. Johnston
was aftcrward joined by an additional
force of O., coo men. Thus the armies stood
at 100000 to 64,C00. BY the LIST of June
Sherman had lost 10000 men, and John
ston 13,00O The force then stood, Sher-
man 10000, Johnston 81 900, showing a sur
plus of 80 600 for Sherman,
In a limited space it is impossible to give
an account of the different battles fought
in this campaign. 1t will be more inter
esting to note the features of the struggle,
the objects to be gained and the advantages
and disadvantages on either side. Sherman
having superior force, and being each day
drawn farther from his base, was anxious
to bring on battle. Johnston must either
fight force exceeding his own by nearly
40 900 men, or at last demorali2e his army
by prolonged retreat. The two armies
would come together; each would throw
up breastworks; the country being noun
famous, usually protected Johnston's
right; Sherman would throw his surplus to
his own right, on the outer extremity Of
which was his cavalry, and when about to
get in JohnSton's rear Johnston would re-
treat.
Sherman, grown impatient, decided to
attack at Kenesaw. The armies of the
Cumberland and the Tennessee marched
forward to the assault. The result was n
failure scarcely less bloody than Fredericks-
burg Then Sherman once more threw
out his flanking column and Kenesaw fell.
Union pickets took possession one morn
