Even in death, Sherman was killing traitors.quote:On 19 February, a funeral service was held at his home, followed by a military procession. General Joseph E. Johnston, the Confederate officer who had commanded the resistance to Sherman's troops in Georgia and the Carolinas, served as a pallbearer in New York City. It was a bitterly cold day and a friend of Johnston, fearing that the general might become ill, asked him to put on his hat. Johnston famously replied: "If I were in [Sherman's] place, and he were standing in mine, he would not put on his hat." Johnston did catch a serious cold and died one month later of pneumonia.

Looking at the shots of this guy he just looks hard as a loving coffin nail. I love that comic of him staring directly into a nuclear blast with binoculars, seems reasonable.

Cthulu Carl posted:I once saw a show about Grant that pointed out that the bouts of drinking that earned him his reputation mainly occurred when he was assigned to posts far away from his wife. It's more because the drinking made him take risks and boosted is confidence. Even Lincoln said he wish he knew what sort of booze Grant preferred so he could make his other generals drink it.

Probably not any authentic ones, abut you can just go to the nearest railroad track and just rip out one of the rails. and make one yourself! If anyone asks what you're doing, just explain that you're showing your patriotic pride.

Sherman's memoirs for free at Gutenberg by the way. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4361 Worth reading. Edit: iirc When Sherman was given the news of Lincon's assassination he deliberately had his officer core keep the news from the troops because they were in the south and he was certain they would react in an undisciplined rampage. If this is true (can't find a citation) the South owes him for his restraint.

Helical Nightmares posted:Sherman's memoirs for free at Gutenberg by the way. read this gbs, it has cucking There was at the time a poor, weakly soldier of our company whose wife cooked for our mess. She was somewhat of a flirt, and rather fond of admiration. Sergeant Broderick was attracted to her, and hung around the mess-house more than the husband fancied; so he reported the matter to Lieutenant Taylor, who reproved Broderick for his behavior. A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer (Taylor), who exclaimed: "Haven't you got a musket? Can't you defend your own family?" Very soon after a shot was heard down by the mess-house, and it transpired that the husband had actually shot Broderick, inflicting a wound which proved mortal.
