MEMOIRS
by William T. Sherman
Over 800 pages of first hand account that includes Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Savannah, the Carolinas and concluding in Washington. The first hundred pages give an interesting peek at life in California in the decades before the Civil War. Perhaps unknown to most is that Sherman was a successful San Francisco banker as well as a soldier in San Jose, Gilroy, Monterey, etc. He shares many details such as the time he first drank what he thought was tomato sauce, but was "liquid fire" (pure chile colorado) which "nearly killed me."
