*Spoiler alert* The sad end to Gen. James McPherson’s demise at the Battle of Atlanta coming up, followed by the internal drama that Sherman caused with his replacement appointment of Otis Howard over Blackjack Logan, one of the few capable political generals. This move would cause Sherman some grief later as General in Chief of the Army.
