Our Great Captains G Sherman Thomas Sheridan And Farragut With Portraits PDF Download

Excerpt from Our Great Captains: Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, and Farragut The bearing, influence, and effect of some of the great battles we have described, upon the struggle in which we are engaged, are not generally under stood. We have tried to make these plain; and to Show that through all the movements of our armies, the shock of battles, and the desperate conflicts for particular points, there has been a plan and purpose which has made them, not, as some of our tun friendly critics across the ocean have so often charged, mere collisions of brute force, without special aim or object, but portions of comprehensive strategy, having for its objects the overthrow of the Rebellion, and the re-establishment, at no distant date, of the authority of the Republic in every por tion of our territory.
