"This is the Civil War diary of Major George Ward Nichols, aide-de-camp
to General William T. Sherman during the latter part of the war. It is a
personal story, describing his experiences during Sherman's March to
the Sea and the subsequent march through the Carolinas.
"For a
personal journal it is surprisingly well written and describes this
journey as a decidedly uncertain endeavor. Written in the vernacular of
the time, it provides a unique insight into the operations and risks
associated with the most singular military event of the war."
Illustrations, plates and a folding map aid in the reader's appreciation of this event. You won't be disappointed.
