"I always thought that Grant’s campaign against Vicksburg is the most brillant operation ever conducted by the US Army in the field."

Sherman's march from Chatanooga to Atlanta, to the sea!

I know a lot of credit goes to Grant for taking Vicksburg but wasn't most of the brains behind the operation Sherman's.
