William Tecumseh Sherman He never commanded in a major Union victory and his military career had repeated ups and downs, but William T. Sherman is the second best known of Northern commanders. His father had died when he was nine years old, and Sherman was raised by Senator Thomas Ewing and eventually married into the family. Through the influence of his patron, he obtained an appointment to West Point. Only five cadets of the class of 1840 graduated ahead of him, and he was appointed to the artillery. He received a brevet for his services in California during the Mexican War but resigned in 1853 as a captain and commissary officer. The years until the Civil War were not filled with success. Living in California and Kansas, he failed in banking and the law. In 1859 he seemed to have found his niche as the superintendent of a military academy which is now Louisiana State University. However, he resigned this post upon the secession of the state and went to St. Louis as head of a streetcar company and then volunteered for the Union army. Appointed to the colonelcy of one of the regular army's newly authorized infantry regiments, he led the brigade of volunteers of the lst Division which crossed Bull Run to aid the 2nd and 3rd divisions after the attack on the enemy left had begun. Despite being caught up in the route-he already had a low opinion of volunteers-he was named a brigadier general the next month. Briefly commanding a brigade around Washington, he was then sent to Kentucky as deputy to Robert Anderson. He soon succeeded the hero of Fort Sumter in command of the department but got into trouble over his overestimates of the enemy strength. The newspapers actually reported him as being insane.

Thomas Ewing Sr. Thomas Ewing Jr. James Ewing George Ewing ... Hon. Thomas Ewing [ William T. Sherman ] Hugh Boyle Ewing General Thomas Ewing General Charles Ewing Thomas Ewing Sherman William Tecumseh Sherman (click on image to enlarge) was the seventh child of Charles Sherman and Mary Hoyt Sherman. He was born in Lancaster, Ohio, in a small frame house located next door to the large Hon. Thomas Ewing home. Sherman's came to Lancaster just before the War of 1812 because Charles' father, Judge Charles Taylor Sherman of Norwalk, Connecticut, had been given, as indemnity for property lost in Connecticut in the Revolutionary War, title to 2 sections of land in the Western Reserve. Charles had been admitted to the bar in 1810 and married Mary Hoyt shortly thereafter. They came by horseback and covered wagon with their 1st son Charles. Their second child, Elizabeth, was born 10 days after they reached Lancaster. When Charles died in 1829, Mary was left with eleven children. Thomas Ewing offered to take the "smartest" of the boys to raise as his own. Although William was never legally adopted by the Ewing family, he lived with them from the age of nine. In 1836, Ewing obtained "Cump's" appointment to West Pointe. In 1850, Cump married Ewing's daughter, Ellen, in a ceremony at Blair House in Washington D.C. during which time Thomas Ewing held the post of Secretary of the Interior. The marriage was attended by President Taylor. He and Ellen had eight children.

PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... Young, Brigham William Tecumseh Sherman Most famous for his scorched-earth tactics in the Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman brought that same military philosophy to the West, where he shaped a policy and strategy that would finally subjugate all the native peoples of the plains. Sherman was born in Ohio in 1820 and named after the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, who had tried unsuccessfully in the first decade of the nineteenth century to unite the tribes of the Ohio River Valley against American intrusions on their land. When his father died in 1829, Sherman was raised by a family friend. After graduating sixth in his class from West Point in 1840, Sherman served in South Carolina and Georgia, but saw very little action in the Mexican-American war. He resigned from the Army in 1853 to pursue a career in banking, then a career as a lawyer, but with little success. The Civil War brought him back to active service in 1861, and brought him lasting fame (or infamy) for his "march to the sea," on which he cut a swathe through the heart of the Confederacy, burning Atlanta and laying waste to vast stretches of farmland. At the conclusion of the Civil War, Sherman was appointed commander of the Missouri district, which stretched from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi. Here he deployed troops to protect transcontinental railroad workers from Indians who feared that the railroad would mean further encroachment on their territory. He also established military outposts across the region, expanding the network of federal authority.

They were pioneers, forging trails and roads into the Northwest Territory. They were soldiers, fighting in the American Revolution and in the Civil War. Many became lawyers and politicians, helping design the laws of a new nation. The Ewing men came from a long line of military families and continued in this tradition as they fought for freedom in America. The 54-page Military Journal of George Ewing contains glimpses of the Battles of Germantown and Brandywine as well as the difficult winter spent at Valley Forge. Many Ewing men were contemporaries and friends of Calhoun, Clay, and Webster. Perhaps the most well-known of this line is the Hon. Thomas Ewing of Lancaster, Ohio, who became a U.S. Senator and sat on the cabinet of four U.S. Presidents. The Thomas Ewing family adopted the famous William T. Sherman after the death of his father and raised William as their own. He later married Thomas' daughter, Ellen, and became their son-in-law.

Entries Publication Data Maps Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to Military History Sherman, William T. American Civil War General Perhaps the originator and the first practitioner of what the twentieth century came to know as "total war," William Tecumseh Sherman in 1864 commanded the Union armies of the West in the decisive drive from Chattanooga to Atlanta and the famous "march to the sea" across Georgia. In these campaigns and his later push northward from Savannah through the Carolinas, Sherman's troops carried the war to the Southern home front and blazed a wide path of destruction that delivered the death blow to the Confederacy's will and ability to fight. For the accompanying destruction, his name is still cursed in some parts of the South; but he is also recognized as a great strategist, a forceful leader, and—together with Ulysses Grant —the ablest Union general of the war. The partnership of William Tecumseh Sherman (known to friends as "Cump") with Grant helped bring both out of early obscurity, until Grant commanded all Union armies and Sherman led all federal forces in the West. The careers of both men had been undistinguished between the Mexican War and the American Civil War . When the South seceded, Sherman—West Point, 1840—was superintendent of a military college that is now Louisiana State University. Aided by his brother John, a member of Congress from Ohio, he reluctantly left the South for a Union commission. Sherman commanded a brigade in the war's first major battle, at Bull Run in Virginia, and then a division in its first truly bloody encounter, at Shiloh; later, he led a corps in one of its climactic campaigns, against Vicksburg, Mississippi, and he commanded a federal army in the last battle of the war in the East, at Bentonville, North Carolina.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History SHERMAN, WILLIAM TECUMSEH , Civil War general. Second in importance only to Ulysses S. Grant among Union generals of the Civil War, Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio. Orphaned by the death of his father in 1829, he was raised in the home of a neighbor, Thomas Ewing. After graduating from West Point in 1840, he was assigned to various garrisons in the South before serving in the Mexican War. He resigned from the army in 1853 to pursue a banking career in San Francisco, but the collapse of his bank in the commercial panic of 1857 and an unsatisfactory stint as a lawyer in Kansas convinced Sherman to return to the military. He became the superintendent of the state military academy in Alexandria, Louisiana. When that state seceded from the Union in January 1861, Sherman resigned and rejoined the U.S. Army as a colonel. Sherman's Atlanta campaign in May to September 1864 won the Confederate prize that ensured Lincoln's reelection that year. Sherman ordered a civilian evacuation of Atlanta, burned everything of any military value, and in November headed out of the city on his famous "march to the sea." More than any other Civil War commander, Sherman grasped the brutal logic of total war. In such a war, civilian morale and economic resources are just as much military targets as the enemy's armies. For Sherman, war unleashed the fury of hell, and he refused to sentimentalize the killing and pillaging required for victory. After capturing Savannah on December 21, 1864, he swung his army north and led another devastating march through the Carolinas. On April 26, 1865, Gen. Joseph Johnston, the commander of the last major Confederate army in the East after Lee's capitulation at Appomattox, surrendered to Sherman in North Carolina.
