Memoirs of General W.T. Sherman

The Memoirs of General W.T. Sherman are an autobiography, in two volumes, of William Tecumseh Sherman. The book focuses on Sherman's early life growing up in Lancaster, Ohio, his military and professional career after graduating from the United States Military Academy in 1840, and his experience as a leading general in the United States Army during the American Civil War. At the urging of his close friends, and a desire to shape his own legacy, Sherman began writing his memoirs in the early 1870s. The set was officially published in May 1875 by D. Appleton & Company.
