Summary "Life and Military Career of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman" by P. C. Headley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1865. This biography focuses on the life and achievements of William Tecumseh Sherman, a prominent Union general during the American Civil War. The book outlines his early life, military education, significant battles, and contributions to the war effort, giving readers insight into his character and military strategies. The opening of the text sets the stage by exploring the early life of Sherman, including his ancestry, boyhood, and the pivotal changes that led him to a military career. It describes the influence of his family background and personal experiences that shaped his path, including the impact of the Seminole Wars and his education at West Point.
