N2  - "Memoirs of General William T. Sherman — Complete" by William T. Sherman is a historical account created during the late 19th century. The text offers a personal perspective on the American Civil War from the viewpoint of one of its prominent military leaders, General Sherman, while also providing insights into his early life, military career, and reflections on the conflicts in which he participated.  The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Sherman's recounting of his life experiences, emphasizing his role as a witness to pivotal events in American history rather than presenting a comprehensive history of the Civil War. Sherman describes the lack of satisfactory historical documentation available to the public shortly after the war's conclusion, expressing an intent to share his memories and observations to assist future historians. He discusses his formative years, the background of his family, and the influences that shaped his character, establishing a personal connection with readers that enhances the understanding of his military strategies and decisions in later chapters.
