To the Sea: A History and Tour Guide of Sherman's March

Rating:
Summary: Why read about history when you can see it?
Review: Jim Miles, a wonderful author who can captivate you in his subjects, wrote this criminally out of print book in an attempt to have average readers, like myself, experience the drama of Sherman's march to the sea first hand.

Outside of his outstanding narrative are illustrations, both contemporary and modern that show the reader what to look for in a riding tour of Sherman's March to Sea.

The march itself was not just one straight line starting from the capture and (somewhat accidental) burning of most of the City of Atlanta, Georgia, to the capture and evacuation of Savannah and the destruction of what little of the Confederacy's fleet was in its port.

The two lines of march, the left wing and the right wing are both followed accurately and with great detail.

Worth getting, if you can find it.
