The Sherman Letters is a collection of correspondence between General William Tecumseh Sherman and his brother, Senator John Sherman, spanning over 50 years from 1837 to 1891. The letters offer a unique insight into the personal and political lives of two prominent figures in American history during a time of great change and conflict. The brothers discuss a wide range of topics, including military strategy, politics, family matters, and personal struggles. The letters also shed light on the relationships between the Sherman brothers and other notable figures of the time, such as Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and William Howard Taft. Edited and annotated by Rachel Sherman Thorndike, a descendant of the Sherman family, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two influential men and the events that shaped their world.1894. With Portraits. Introduction: Soon after beginning the work of arranging my father�������s papers for publication, I found a series of letters which awoke my deepest interest. They covered a period extending from 1837 to 1891, and proved to be the complete correspondence between my father and his brother John during those more than fifty years. These letters, exchanged by two brothers of such eminence, and many of them written during the most stirring events of our country�������s history, seem to me unique. They form a collection, complete in itself; they are of great historical value, and the expressions of opinion which they obtain are so freely given as to furnish an excellent idea of the relations that existed between my father and his brother. Realizing all this, I have decided to publish the correspondence by itself; and in so doing, my chief desire has been to let the letters speak for themselves, and to put them such form that they may be easily understood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
