Sherman including his early service on the frontier, and during and after the Civil war. From the Author's Foreword: Ten years after General William Tecumseh Sherman attained the height of his military achievement he published (in 1875) his Memoirs, an outspoken record of his career in peace.

Ten years later he revised the Memoirs in the light of the abundant comment and criticism which they called forth. When nearly two more decades had passed, one of his children gave the public (in 1904) a liberal portion of the life-long correspondence between the General and his Brother, the Hon. Both the Memoirs and the Sherman letter brought to the readers of such books an animating knowledge of General Sherman as a writer - forcible, individual, fearless, the very counterpart in expression of everything which the history of his country record of him in action. Drawing upon the last considerable collection of General Sherman's writings to which the public may expect even a limited admission.

These are the letters which he wrote to Ellen Boyle Ewing, who, in 1850, became his wife. The first of the letters bears the date of 1837.

In 1836 the boy of sixteen had left his adopted, and adopting, home to become a cadet at West Point. Ewing was then a U. Senator from Ohio, and to his influence with the Secretary of War young Sherman owed his appointment to the military school. This debt, he would have been the first to say, was quite secondary to that of the whole-souled boy and girl relationship which grew into the vital devotion and confidence of man and wife. In and out of the army Sherman was of necessity long and often separated from the domestic center in which his strong affections were deeply rooted.

His letters home, therefore, were always the frank and authentic record of the event most nearly concerned him. The historic importance of these events would of itself justify the publication of the letter. But to this must be added their biographical significance. Through their fresh illumination of an important period, and through their spontaneous revealing of the more intimate human qualities of Sherman himself, they belong to the annals both of American history and of American biography. In passage which necessarily run parallel with passages in the Memoirs and the Sherman Letters, it will be found that the new merely supplements, but does not duplicate, what has been printed before.
