Barrett. This book is based on printed memoirs and documentary records of those who fought - and of the civilians who lived in the path of - Sherman's onslaught. The burning of Columbia, the battle of Bentonville, and Joseph E. Johnston's surrender nine days after Appomattox are at the center of the story, but the book also focuses on other aspects of the campaign such as the undisciplined pillaging of the 'bummers' and its effects on local populations. 335 pgs., 6"x 9¼", sfbd. #0C12115
