i would highly, highly recommend "sherman civil war: the selected correspondence of william t. herman." it's one of the most important edited volumes in many decades. brook simpson, who's on the faculty here, is one of the co-editors of that. throughout the atlanta campaign, sherman largely avoided launching frontal attacks against his entrenched opponent. instead, what he repeatedly did was utilize maneuver, flanking movements, to rest the confederates from strong defensive positions. i think sherman's greatness also derives from his mastery of logistics. keeping an enormous field army supplied day after day after day, very deep in enemy territory. sherman's army numbered over 100,000 men. it had 28,000 horses. 33,000 mules. imagine trying to supply an army of that size, day after day after day. the only way to do it, of course, was via railroads. sherman, in the months leading up to the campaign, which began in may 1864, had hundreds and hundreds of trains moving down a rail system through kentucky and tennessee stockpiling supplies in nashville and chattanooga. in chattanooga

it is from chattanooga that following spring that william tecumseh sherman will take a combined union army group and advance southward from chattanooga toward atlanta and into that military-industrial heartland, and disrupted and destroy much of it, and bring the war to a close in the spring of 1865. observers and participants at the time believed that union wasess here at chattanooga a signal of alternate union success in the war. some has said this was a death knell of the confederacy. chattanooga remained in union hands from their seizure of it in this campaign in 1863 onto the end of the war. and in part because it was a inon base and garrison town the last year and a half of the war, it allows a number of individuals from the north to come to chattanooga and began exploiting the resources that are in this greater chattanooga region. even before the war was over, chattanooga's industrial segment of its economy that was beginning to grow just before the civil war actually gets reinvigorated in the closing then willthe war, and boom in the late 1860's and 1870's. we are located righ
