Summary "Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman, Volume II., Part 3" by William T. Sherman is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume documents Sherman’s experiences and reflections as he commands the Military Division of the Mississippi during the critical Atlanta campaign of the American Civil War. It likely delves into the operational strategies, military challenges, and personal anecdotes that shaped the outcome of significant battles. At the start of this volume, Sherman recounts the transition of command from Lieutenant-General Grant as he takes control of various military divisions in March 1864. The opening portion details Sherman's efforts in organizational restructuring and troop deployment as he prepares for a large-scale offensive against Confederate forces led by General Joseph E. Johnston. He discusses the logistics of supplying the army, the morale of his troops, and the complexities of command as he navigates through tactical discussions with his generals and letters exchanged with Grant. Sherman's reflections not only cover military maneuvers but also highlight the interpersonal dynamics of leadership and the harsh realities of war, setting a compelling context for the ensuing narrative of the Atlanta campaign.
