T. Sherman, Volume I, Part 1" by William T. Sherman is a historical account penned in the late 19th century. The memoir offers an intimate look at the life and recollections of Sherman, a key figure in the American Civil War, providing insights into his experiences and thoughts on the events that shaped American history during and after the war. The opening of the memoir begins with Sherman reflecting on the state of historical records concerning the Civil War, noting the lack of satisfactory accounts available to the public nearly a decade after its conclusion. He expresses his intent not to write a complete history but rather to share his personal recollections and experiences for future historians. The text then shifts to Sherman's family background, detailing his lineage from early American settlers and highlighting significant familial events leading up to his youth. As he recounts his early years, the narrative begins to weave threads of historical context with personal narrative, illustrating the connections between Sherman's life and the broader historical events he would later influence during his military career.
