ALTHOUGH General Sherman’s military career has only reached its most interesting and brilliant period, grateful and admiring thousands will welcome an authentic outline of his history to the present time. The facts of his early life were obtained from those who knew him best.
To Colonel Bowman, an appreciative friend of General Sherman, whose sketches of him in the _U. S. Service Magazine_ were graphic and reliable, to the _Army and Navy Journal_ and able correspondents, we are indebted for valuable material.
