In midwinter we heard of the approach of a battalion of the Second Dragoons, under Major Lawrence Pike Graham, with Captains Rucker, Coutts, Campbell, and others, along.

When this command reached Los Angeles, it was left there as the garrison, and Captain A. J. Smith's company of the First Dragoons was brought up to San Francisco.

This book gives a first hand description of events that occurred during the three plus years of Union advance into the deep South; and the confessions of a general, who despite a break-down requiring leave, returned to duty to lead the Union armies to final victory.

Sherman's personal comments on other officers and civilian authorities provides a view not found in history books. ( )
