The practice of strategy was advanced by generals such as Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman, all of whom had been influenced by the feats of Napoleon ( Thomas " Stonewall " Jackson was said to have carried a book of Napoleon's maxims with him.

His urgent dispatches to Richmond were treated with disbelief — Davis and Robert E. Lee ( now the general in chief of all the Confederate armies ) could not believe that Sherman was advancing without a supply line as quickly as Beauregard was observing him do.

Military historian B. H. Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was " the first modern general ".

Sherman proceeded to invade the state of Georgia with three armies: the 60, 000-strong Army of the Cumberland under George Henry Thomas, the 25, 000-strong Army of the Tennessee under James B. McPherson, and the 13, 000-strong Army of the Ohio under John M. Schofield.

The influential 20th century British military historian and theorist B. H. Liddell Hart ranked Sherman as one of the most important strategists in the annals of war, along with Scipio Africanus, Belisarius, Napoleon Bonaparte, T. E. Lawrence, and Erwin Rommel.

The admiration of scholars such as Victor Davis Hanson, B. H. Liddell Hart, Lloyd Lewis, and John F. Marszalek for General Sherman owes much to what they see as an approach to the exigencies of modern armed conflict that was both effective and principled.

Hooker led his corps ( now designated the XX Corps ) competently in the 1864 Atlanta Campaign under Sherman, but asked to be relieved before the capture of the city because of his dissatisfaction with the promotion of Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard to command of the Army of the Tennessee, upon the death of Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson.

Sherman was responsible for the story when he said in his memoirs that this was the only time he could recall seeing Thomas ride so fast.

That night a note written in Slocum's hand and dated from inside the captured city came to Sherman stating that the Twentieth Corps was in possession of Atlanta.

Before making the news public Sherman sent an officer with the note to Thomas.

The next day Sherman issued his orders ending the campaign and pulled his armies back to Atlanta.

Sherman laid great store by place captures.

Sherman felt that his own part in the campaign was skillful and well executed but that the slowness of a part of his army robbed him of the larger fruits of victory.

In the midst of this gloom, at 10:05 P.M. on September 2, Slocum's telegram to Stanton, `` General Sherman has taken Atlanta '', shattered the talk of a negotiated peace and boosted Lincoln into the White House.

Official congratulations showered upon Sherman and his army.

Sherman had accomplished this much of his job and then inexplicably nullified it by his thirty-mile retreat from Lovejoy's to Atlanta.

Sherman proved that a railway base could be movable and the most brilliant feature of the Atlanta campaign was the rapid repair of the tracks.

To the Rebels it seemed as if Sherman carried tunnels and bridges in his pockets.

Sherman could never be accused of sticking too long with the old.

So Sherman tried a compromise.

Sherman knew the uses of cavalry as well as Thomas but he imagined a moving base with infantry wings instead of cavalry wings.

Sherman insisted that cavalry could not successfully break up hostile railways, yet Garrard's Covington raid and Rousseau's Opelika raid cut two-thirds of the rail lines he had to break and Sherman lived in mortal fear of what Forrest might do to his communications.

From the night of August 30 to the morning of September 2 there was no Union cavalry east of the Macon railway to disclose to Sherman that he was missing the greatest opportunity of his career.

Johnston believed that Sherman put his naked engineers into the swimming parties to locate the various fords.

This claim, as submitted to the District Court and dismissed by it, 126 F.Supp.235, alleged violation not only of 7 of the Clayton Act, but also of 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act.

However, this Court put to one side without consideration the Government's appeal from the dismissal of its Sherman Act allegations.

Rep. Charles E. Hughes of Sherman, sponsor of the bill, said a failure to enact it would amount `` to making a gift out of the taxpayers' pockets to banks, insurance and pipeline companies ''.

His contention was denied by several bankers, including Scott Hudson of Sherman, Gaynor B. Jones of Houston, J. B. Brady of Harlingen and Howard Cox of Austin.
