Historical Context:
William Tecumseh Sherman (1820–1891) was a Union general and one of the most consequential military leaders of the American Civil War. Best known for his decisive and controversial "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah in 1864, Sherman pioneered the doctrine of "total war", targeting not just enemy forces but also the economic and civilian infrastructure supporting the Confederate war effort. His campaigns were instrumental in breaking the Confederacy’s ability to continue the war and hastening the Union victory. After the war, Sherman served as Commanding General of the U.S. Army (1869–1883) and oversaw military efforts during the Indian Wars of the western frontier. Fiercely loyal to the Union cause, Sherman famously declined political office, stating, “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.” His autograph, especially accompanied by his military rank, remains highly sought-after by collectors of Civil War and 19th-century American history.

Certified authentic by PSA/DNA, the signature and photograph are encapsulated in a clear, tamper-proof PSA holder.
