Sommario/riassunto

Sherman's March in Myth and Memory examines William Tecumseh Sherman's treatment in the press, among historians, on stage and screen, and in literature, from the time of the March to the present day. The authors show us the many ways in which Sherman has been portrayed in the media and popular culture, and how his devastating March has been stamped into our collective memory.
