Bildnummer 12553446
| William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891), American soldier, businessman and author. Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio, son of a lawyer. At the age of 16 he was appointed a cadet at the US Military Academy at West Point. He fought in the Second Seminole War. He resigned in 1853 to follow an unsuccessful banking career, returning to the army in 1859. In 1861 he commanded an infantry regiment in the US Civil War with the rank of colonel, but after distinguishing himself at the Battle of Bull Run he fell into depression. He soon returned to duty to command of the western theatre of war for the Unionists. He led several successful campaigns, including the 'March to the Sea', but is often criticised for his 'total warfare' approach. In 1869 he became Commanding General of the US Army, responsible for the engagement in the Indian Wars, advocating total war against hostile native American tribes. He spent his later years writing his memoirs. Sherman died in New York from pneumonia in 1891. | |
