    Sherman, William Tecumseh
    Encyclopedia Article Multimedia 1 item Sherman, William Tecumseh (1820-1891), United States general in the American Civil War (1861-1865). Sherman is remembered for his campaign in Georgia and the Carolinas in which the Northern troops devastated the Southern landscape and resources. Sherman was born on February 8, 1820, in Lancaster, Ohio, and educated at the U.S. Military Academy. After an undistinguished military career he resigned from the army in 1853 to become a partner in a banking firm in San Francisco. He was president of a military college in Alexandria , Louisiana (now Louisiana State University) from 1859 to the beginning of 1861, when Louisiana seceded from the Union. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, he offered his services to the Union Army and was put in command of a volunteer infantry regiment, becoming a brigadier general of volunteers after the First Battle of Bull Run. Sherman led a division at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6 and 7, 1862, and was rewarded for his part in the victory by being promoted to major general of volunteers. In December of that year he failed in an attempt to seize the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg, on the Mississippi River, but in 1863 he fought under General

William Tecumseh Sherman
American General
The following is from a speech given to the Lotos Club in New York City on January 11, 1908, by Robert Stuart MacArthur: "You will recall the fact that a few years ago Charles Dickens the younger came to this city and gave readings from his father's books. Those readings were to be given in Chickering Hall. I went early; I had a seat on the platform. General Sherman, who then had his home in New York, came in and took a seat beside me. I had with me my little daughter, and I was very anxious that she should know General Sherman, so I took the liberty of presenting her to the great general. He said, 'I am so glad to have an opportunity to hear Charles Dickens, Junior. I owe and I think this remark has never been put into print; some day I propose to write it out I owe a debt of gratitude to his father, Charles Dickens, which I shall never be able to pay. During my march to the sea, after many of my greatest battles, I went into my tent, I took up David Copperfield, Martin Chuzzlewit, A Tale of Two Cities

Boynton: Sherman's Historical Raid: The Memoirs in the Light of the Record General William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891); photo courtesy Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. One of the most infamous military leaders of the Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891) is possibly best known for his 1864 "March to the Sea" during which he led his troops from the newly captured Atlanta to Savannah on the Atlantic coast. On the way, he decimated the surrounding countryside, effectively destroying the South's ability to continue the war. Sherman's military strategies are considered to be forerunners of modern warfare.
In 1875, Sherman wrote his autobiography, published by Appleton as a two-volume set and including a map of his Civil War marches. Shortly after its publication, Henry Boynton, a reporter for the Cincinnati Gazette , published a critical refutation of much of Sherman's account. Using War Office records, Boynton methodically detailed discrepancies in the Sherman book. He even went so far as to use a binding nearly identical to Sherman's. Both of the books, shown below, are first editions.

The Sherman Theatre
Milwaukee, WI 4632 W. Burleigh St. Milwaukee WI United States map Status: Closed Screens: Single Screen Style: Art Deco Function: Unknown Seats: Chain: Unknown Architect: Unknown Firm: Unknown By 1935 when the SHERMAN Theatre opened, the Great Depression had put an end to movie palaces and building in general, but one Mr. Reed of the Graylock Investment Co. did have funds and sought to build a commercial strip on Burleigh St. on the north side of the city of Milwaukee. Earlier, in 1915, this firm had developed the DOWNER THEATRE, which was designed by Milwaukee architect Martin Tullgren. Evidently he liked the Tullgrens’ work because in 1935 he asked Martin’s son, Herbert, to design his new theater and stores/offices building. Herbert Tullgren (1889-1944) is not known to have ever designed another theater, but his work in apartment buildings especially is well noted by experts.

    Abstract:
      One of the challenges that narrators face is the critical reception of their accounts by the audience. While the narrator is inevitably subject to the imaginative and emotive pressures of the narrative material, the audience tends to take a more rational view of the artistic choices the narrator makes in his effort to construct a convincing account. The "aesthetic discrepancy" that seems to exist between narrator and audience leads some listeners to feel that the narrator is lying. Some scholars have questioned the usefulness of such accounts in the construction of a people's history. Okpewho addresses the issue by examining a tale he recorded in Nigeria from the narrator Charles Simayi about a contest between two men for a chieftaincy title. In making himself one of the judges in that contest, Simayi draws misgivings from one of his listeners about Simayi's touted role in the event. Okpewho examines this act of self-insertion against the background of similar evidence in various African countries and elsewhere in the world, and sees in it a narrator who "feels committed enough to the interests of his society to take a subjective stand in interrogating them. What is at play in such narratives is not so much an abstract concept of truth, as the right of the individual to review the facts of historical experience in the context of contemporary realities."

    Not again until the twentieth century, if then, were there as many travelers in the South or in any other part of America as during the Civil War, for soldiers were travelers. And never have as many travel accounts been written dealing with so short a period of American life as appeared on the Confederacy. This collection of 3598 microfiche reproduces most of the 492 books of travel included in the annotated bibliography of the same title compiled by E. Merton Coulter in 1961. It includes "diaries, series of letters written from the scenes of action, reminiscences, autobiographies, and narratives written primarily as travel accounts". The Coulter bibliography is arranged by author and indexed by title and subject. The microfiche are arranged by a fiche number available in the printed list located in microfiche guides.
