Casdorph, author of Jacksonand Lee Best remembered as the man who burned Atlanta and marched his armyto the sea, cutting a swath of destruction through Georgia, WilliamTecumseh Sherman remains one of the most vital figures in Civil Warannals. In The White Tecumseh, Stanley Hirshson has crafted abeautiful and rigorous work of scholarship, the only life ofSherman to draw on regimental histories and testimonies by thegeneral's own men.
