I've read Bio's on both Sherman and Grant. In the broad picture, they were good men. I can see why Sherman did what he did, but having family on the recieving end doesn't make me have to like it.
I got a book from the library today and hope to see if there's something in it that may help this 'fuzzy' question.
'Grand and Sherman, The Friendsip That Won The Civil War', by Charles Bracelen Flood.
