A New Volume in the Great Commanders Series. 



GENERAL SHERMAN. 



By General M. F. Force. Edited by General James Grant Wilson. With Por- 

 traits and Maps. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



The author of this volume, a practiced writer and one of Sherman's division commanders, accom- 

 panied him in the Atlanta campaign and in the march to the sea. It is no slight compliment to General 

 Force to say that his biography of Sherman maintains the high level of merit which characterizes the 

 entire series, and indicates the good judgment of General Sherman in selecting him, as he did, for his 

 biographer. Several of the concluding chapters of the volume were written by General J. D. Cox at 

 the request of the author, owing to a temporary loss of health and his desire not to delay its appearance. 

 The book contains a finely engraved steel portrait of the picture that General Sherman preferred, eight 

 well-executed maps of his most important battlefields, and a carefully prepared index. This clear, 

 comprehensive, and compact biography of the illustrious soldier contains, among other features, the most 

 accurate and complete account of the battle of Shiloh, in which Sherman played such an important 

 part, that has appeared in print.

This series forms one of the most notable collections of books that has been published for many 

 years. The success it has met with since the firsj: volume was issued, and the widespread attention it 

 has attracted, indicate that it has satisfactorily fulfilled its purpose, viz., to provide in a popular form 

 and moderate compass the records of the lives of men who have been conspicuously eminent in the 

 great conflicts that established American independence and maintained our national integrity and unity. 

 Each biography has been written by an author especially well qualified for the task, and the result is not 

 only a series of fascinating stories of the lives and deeds of great men, but a rich mine of valuable in- 

 formation for the student of American history and biography. 



" No library of military literature that has appeared in recent years has been so instructive to readers of all 

 kinds as the Great Commanders Series, which is edited by General James Grant Wilson."— New York Mail
