Sherman's testimony regarding his negotiations and agreements with Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston at the conclusion of the Civil War. Sherman's testimony was presented in 1865 before the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War led by Senator Benjamin Wade. Agreements were realized between Sherman and Johnston in their initial peace memorandum negotiated at Bennett Place in North Carolina. To achieve military surrender of Confederate troops, the agreement included political and civil terms which President Andrew Johnson's cabinet rejected as being too lenient and not within Sherman's purview. Sherman was called before Congress to justify his actions and he expressed deep frustration and annoyance towards Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and Washington officials and politicians who had sought to damage his reputation by leaking and sensationalizing their rejection.RARE.

FIRST EDITION AND A SCARCE SALES DUMMY AND AN INTERESTING AND SCARCE ITEM OF PUBLISHING HISTORY AS RELATES TO ONE OF THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT UNION GENERALS OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. Bound in the rear is the publisher's description of the book with the prices for the two available bindings. This is followed by several pages of lined paper for taking down customer orders. None of them in this rare example have been used. William Tecumseh Sherman was a career military man, graduate of West Point who would rise to the rank of Commanding General of the United States Army and acting Secretary of War. He is best known for his still-controversial "scorched-earth" policies fighting against the Confederacy in the Civil War. He has been called (by B.H. Liddell Hart), "the first modern general". 'Sherman remained a soldier to the end, though his view of warfare was succinctly put in his oft-quoted assertion that "war is hell." When Grant became a full general in 1866, Sherman moved up to the rank of lieutenant general, and when Grant became president in 1869, he made Sherman commanding general of the army, a post he held until 1884. Unlike Grant, Sherman declined all opportunities to run for political office, saying he would not run if nominated and would not serve if elected. Sherman was one of the ablest Union generals in the Civil War died in New York City in 1891. He saw that conflict in its broadest strategic terms, and his March to the Sea is generally regarded as the first example of the use of total war in the modern era.' Charlton Tebeau.…

Cloth. Zustand: Near fine. First Edition. Octavo, [2], 67pp, [3]. Brown cloth, title in gilt on spine and front cover. Dark green endpapers. Internally clean, solid text block. Archival tissue reinforcement to hinge of title page. Bookplate of "W.T. Sherman, General" and his son, Philemon T. Sherman, on the front endpaper. (Howes, S-826) (Kentucky, Coleman 2953) (Monaghan 1005) This work by Speed is one of three known copies to enter the public market. Provenance: The Sherman-Fitch Collection, Lot 51424-110, Fleischer's Auction, 2024. This book was acquired by Philemon after his father's death in 1891, at which point the "W.T. Sherman, General" bookplate was added. The second bookplate was added by Sherman's grandson, Tecumseh Sherman Fitch (1908-1969), who inherited the collection in 1942. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Joshua F. Speed, a close friend of Lincoln since his days in the Illinois Legislature, coordinated Union military activities in Kentucky. This responsibility introduced him to Brig. General William T. Sherman, who commanded the Department of the Cumberland in Louisville. Sherman made numerous requests to Washington for supplies for his troops, but it took an intervention by Speed and his direct connection to Lincoln to make it happen. Sherman was amazed and said to Speed: "How is it that more attention is paid to the request of you, a citizen, than to me, a general in the army? You had better take command here." Speed replied: "The only mistake you made, General, was in not asking for more." The two men continued to exchange letters as Sherman's military career moved forward. Their correspondence is likely why Sherman desired a copy of this short memoir by Speed. From the library of General William T. Sherman, the first edition of Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln and Notes of a Visit to California by his close friend, Joshua F. Speed. (illustrator). …

Rare Indo-Persian khanjar, a 20th century curved dagger, from the collection of General William T. Sherman preserved in his military trunk. The khanjar has decorative wooden and metal inlays and intricate detailing to the handle and sheath, with etchings to the blade. Ulysses S. Grant, a close friend of Sherman's, went on a "World Tour" after his second presidential term had ended. It has been suggested that Grant collected a few souvenirs for his dear friend while visiting Asia. When the Grant family returned from their trip, Sherman greeted Grant at a reunion held by the veterans of the Army of the Tennessee. In very good condition. The piece measures approximately 15.5 inches. General William Tecumseh Sherman and General Ulysses S. Grant were key figures in the Union Army during the American Civil War, forming a close personal and professional relationship that significantly influenced the warâs outcome. Grant, known for his strategic leadership, recognized Shermanâs military talents early in the war, and the two collaborated on major campaigns, including the Vicksburg Campaign (1863) and Shermanâs March to the Sea (1864â"1865). Their coordinated efforts exemplified the Unionâs strategy of total war, aimed at crippling the Confederacyâs resources and morale. After the war, their partnership continued, with Sherman succeeding Grant as Commanding General of the U.S. Army in 1869 when Grant became President. Their mutual trust and shared military philosophy played a crucial role in shaping U.S. military strategy and post-war reconstruction efforts.…
