| Publisher Description: In November 1864, William Tecumseh Sherman began his March to the Sea. During the six week march, Sherman's army of 62,000 "lived off the land", and cut a swathe of destruction through central Georgia. When Sherman marched into Savannah on December 21, 1864, he had administered a blow to the Confederacy from which it was never able to recover. This book tells the story of Sherman's March to the Sea through the mechanism of looking at what remains today (monuments, buildings, trenches, etc.) at sites associated with those events. Where possible, addresses are included for GPS units. Over 60 photos, maps and newspaper pages are included in this black and white edition. |
