Excerpt from Great Commanders: General Sherman
General sherman was the most picturesque figure in the civil war. His character was abso lutely pure and spotless. He had a vigorous and penetrating intellect, prompt and clear in compre hension and in decision. While steadfast in his Opinions, he was subordinate in conduct; he held to his judgment in issue against President Lincoln, but yielded as unquestioning obedience to Mc Clernand as to Grant. He was an omnivorous reader, and was a storehouse of felicitous anecdote. His cheerful disposition and inexhaustible fund of conversation made him always a delightful com panion. Frank as a child and outspoken in his likes and dislikes, Sherman was often engaged in controversy.
