This is an illustrated page from the article printed by Harper's Weekly covering Commanding General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman was a soldier, businessman, educator and author. He graduated from West Point in 1840 and served until 1853, when he resigned his commission. During the Civil War he fought with distinction at the First Battle of Bull Run, but was then transferred to the Western theater of operations. Sherman served under Ulysses Grant, and his career as a military officer shadowed Grant's. When Grant was promoted to full command of the Union Army, Sherman succeeded him as commander of the Western theater. His famous march through Georgia, where he conducted his scorched earth policy of warfare brought him both recognition and and criticism. He continued to serve in the Union Army after the Civil War, and when Grant was elected President of the United States Sherman was appointed Commanding General of the United States Army. William Sherman finally retired from military life in 1883, and died 14 February, 1891. The illustration measures 9 1/4" wide and 9 3/4" tall. The one page section of the article is mounted on a piece of cardboard and is protected by shrink wrap. This one page from the Harper's Weekly looks just the way it did when it was printed years ago. There are no smudges, stains, rips, tears, creases or folds on the page. The black and white illustration shows a bust of Sherman facing to the right in his Commanding General of the Army uniform. If you collect Civil War or Indian War documents this piece will fit right in!
