“War with him is a means — not an end; intense necessity — not a willing sacrifice. He is a successful General, yet he hates the battle-field; he is the very incarnation of the spirit of peace; and there is a moral grandeur in him that commands our unbounded admiration.” - Captain George W. Pepper.Presented as it was originally published in 1866, Pepper’s memoirs are much more than a series of battle descriptions. Starting at Kentucky and marching through the states with Sherman’s troops, Pepper portrays in extensive detail the regions, the buildings, and the people, including anecdotes of Sherman.Locale, military tactics and colourful characterizations give this recounting a fascinating and novel point of view.Pepper details each battle and reveals the aftermath on many levels.

This volume is composed of the personal recollections of the author, from the time that General Sherman took command of the Army of the Tennessee, to the end of the rebellion. The history of this gallant army is a history of individual valor, splendid courage, hardships and victories. Its camps have been innumerable, and its battles and campaigns are those of the Southwest. The author of these war sketches does not pretend to give a complete narration of all the movements of Sherman's army, but he does claim to have prepared and arranged an impartial and reliable history of the most prominent engagements and campaigns, in the States of Georgia and the Carolinas.
