William T. Sherman, Commanding General Of The Military Division Of The Mississippi, 1864-1866, Henry W. Johnson Jul 1953

In part, this might have been expected. Since much of his work was of such a nature as to cause antipathy in a large portion of the present United States, it is understandable that Southerners might hesitate to write on it.
