Quotes by William T. Sherman

|

|
Hold the fort! I am coming! |
|
Atlanta is ours, and fairly won. |
|
I can make this march, and I will make Georgia howl! |
|
War is Hell. |
|
I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected. |
|
No rebels shall be allowed to remain at Davis Mill so much as an hour. Allow them to go, but do not let them stay. And let it be known that if a farmer wishes to burn his cotton, his house, his family, and himself, he may do so. But not his corn. We want that. |
|

|
