William Boynton, Sherman's Historical Raid, Chapter 11: (search)
1:30 P. M. Major-General Sherman. Your dispatch of to-day received. If you are satisfied the trip to the sea-coast can be made, holding the line of the Tennessee River firmly, you may make it, destroying all the railroad south of Dalton or Chattanooga, as you think best. U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General. In this permission also, the condition of holding Tennessee firmly against Hood is prominent. The next day General Grant again telegraphed as follows: City Point, October 12, 1864, 1 P. M. General Sherman, Kingston. On reflection I think better of your proposition. It will be much better to go south than to be forced to come north. You will, no doubt, clear the country where you go of railroad tracks and supplies. * * * * U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General. General Sherman, on page 154, says he received no answer to his Kingston dispatch at the time. The reason is obvious. It was dated 11:30 P. M. of the 11th, and the next day Sherman left for Rome.

At the age of twenty-three he was a member of the Maryland Assembly; was State Senator in 1816, and attorney-general of Maryland in 1827. In 1831 President Jackson appointed him United States Attorney-General, and in 1836 he was appointed chief-justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to succeed Judge Marshall. In 1857 he gave his famous opinion in the Dred Scott case (q. v.), and was an earnest upholder of the slave-system. He died in Washington, D. C., Oct. 12, 1864.

r process of starvation, I shall then feel justified in resorting to the harshest measures, and shall make little effort to restrain my army, burning to avenge a great national wrong they attach to Savannah and other large cities which have been so prominent in dragging our country into civil war. I enclose you a copy of General Hood's demand for the surrender of the town of Resaca, Ga., to be used by you for what it is worth. This demand of General Hood for the surrender of Resaca (October 12th, 1864,) contained the following words: If the place is carried by assault, no prisoners will be taken. We do not intend to discuss the propriety of such demands of surrender, or to approve of the tone characterizing them; but it should be remembered that General Hood was addressing an invading enemy, whose passage through the South had already been marked by acts of cruelty, pillage, and devastation. Whereas General Sherman was the commander of that invading army, whose conduct at Atlanta,
