“Tomorrow morning we set out on a campaign which will be remembered. God grant it aid to bring to a speedy end this terrible and lamentable war!†So wrote Major Henry Hitchcock on the eve of General William Sherman’s epic march across Georgia to the sea. Hitchcock; a new member of Sherman’s staff; was right about the fame; or infamy; that would attach to the campaign. His diaries and letters describe at first hand the destructive swath Sherman’s army cut through Georgia and the Carolinas. The major; religious and trained in the law; watches the burning and pillage with as much sorrow as satisfaction. If his sympathy for the Southern people is strong; so is his devotion to the Union and its unstoppable general.
