e-artnow presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. First published ten years after the end of the Civil War, ‘Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman’ were among the first memoirs written by one of the prominent Civil War generals. The memoirs caused a lot of controversy, especially because of the author’s unfair treatment of General Grant. General Sherman replied to his critics: ‘…any witness who may disagree with me should publish his own version of facts in the truthful narration of which he is interested.’
