General Sherman and the Georgia Belles by Cathy J. Kaemmerlen Pdf

The courage and sacrifices of the Southern women who stood in the way of Sherman’s March to the Sea from Atlanta to Savannah during the Civil War. When General Sherman led 60,000 soldiers on a sixty-mile-wide path of destruction through Georgia, the purpose was to frighten civilians into abandoning the Confederate cause. Most Georgia women were left to face the enemy alone—their men were off fighting or hiding for fear of being killed or taken as prisoners of war. But these steel magnolias were well-prepared to protect all that was rightfully theirs . . . Cathy Kaemmerlen, a renowned storyteller and historical interpreter, provides a colorful collection of tales of exceptional Georgia women who made great sacrifices in an effort to save their families and homes. From the innocent diary of a 10-year-old girl to the words of a woman who risks everything to see her husband one last time, Kaemmerlen exposes the grit and gumption of these remarkable Southern women in inspiring and entertaining fashion.

Life and Military Career of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman by P. C. Headley Pdf

This work presents an accurate account of the life and career of William Tecumseh Sherman. He was an American soldier, businessman, and a prominent architect of modern warfare. He served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, gaining recognition for his command of military strategy. Sherman led Union forces in crushing campaigns through the South, marching through Georgia and the Carolinas. However, he also received criticism for the harshness of the scorched-earth policies he implemented against the Confederate States to destroy anything that was useful to the enemy. P. C. Headley's writing style is unbiased and easy to understand. As a result, one can quickly grasp the complex events of Sherman's life. Since one cannot separate the life of this extraordinary soldier from the chaotic period he lived in, this work also presents the history of that time.
