won his greatest fame and promotion
to the rank of lieutenant general, which
had been held only by George Wash
ington.
Grant and Sherman were in accord on
all essential elements OF the grand STRAIT
egy OF the coming campaign.
For the first time in the war. the en-
tire Confederacy was to be considered
al one field OF action. A Gordon was to
be thrown around 1t, and this was to
be gradually drawn tighter until the
power of the Confederate armies was
crushed.
In the adoption of this plan, which
Grant characterized as a movement ''all
along the line" there was an interesting
reversion to the methods for operating
Winfield Scott in the opening year Of
the war.
Gen. Scott had suggested that the Fed
eral power should crush the Confed-
crates as an anaconda crushes his prey
in his folds. There was a good deal of
popular ridicule OF the veteran generals
anaconda" policy, and it was never
adopted. But Gen. Scott, like all the
older military men in the Federal service
at the beginning of the war. had placed
an extremely low estimate on the forces
that would be required to execute such
a policy. An army of 10000 men would
have been more than enough. to Gen.
Scott, TO speedily end the war.

mere statement Of the strength Of the
armies which Grant now commanded.
They numbered more than $1,000 men. OF
whom nearly $4,000 were equipped AMI
ready for duty.
Sherman had an army of 10000 vet
Grams under him and more than 30.0G
in his department. Early in the war il
had been charged that Sherman was
mentally unbalanced because he had told
the Secretary of War that 10000 men
would be necessary to take and hold Ken
lucky and Tennessee. A far greater
number had been employed in this diff
cult task,

reputation second to none in the service

and effectively. was now on the thresh-
hold of his greatest campaign.
The task assigned him by Grant was
for him to advance at an early date
against the Confederate army under
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. which had beer
defeated at Chattanooga early in Nc
vember and hal wintered at Dalton. Ga,
about thirty miles south of that place.
The logical line OF operations for Sher-
man was that through the mountain
passes in the direction OF Atlanta The
destruction of JohnstOn's army was to
be his first object and the capture OF At
lanta his second. Beyond that his move
ments were to depend upon those Of the
enemy.
