MAN OF FIRE: William Tecumseh Sherman in the Civil War

Bio of William Tecumseh Sherman from adoption to West Point to leaving the military for banking and practicing law. He became superintendent of a new military academy in Louisiana until the outbreak of the American Civil War. After Bull Run, he went home for mental health recuperation. Forming a friendship with US Grant, he proved his worth to everyone at Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Georgia, and in the Carolinas. While he was unorthodox, he was also brilliant and creative. More than that, he was eminently successful and played an important role in the Union's victory.
