內容簡介: |
Sherman''s March is the vivid narrative of General William T.
Sherman''s devastating sweep through Georgia and the Carolinas in
the closing days of the Civil War. Weaving together hundreds of
eyewitness stories, Burke Davis graphically brings to life the
dramatic experiences of the 65,000 Federal troops who plundered
their way through the South and those of the anguished -- and often
defiant -- Confederate women and men who sought to protect
themselves and their family treasures, usually in vain. Dominating
these events is the general himself -- "Uncle Billy" to his troops,
the devil incarnate to the Southerners he encountered.
