“Cump” Sherman was the second of noted historian Ezra J. Warner’s “triumvirate who won the war for the Union.” Awarded the thanks of Congress twice for actions in the war, Sherman rose to the rank of full general and Commander-in-Chief of the Armies after it. He led Union forces in the capture of Atlanta and the March to the Sea, and it is believed it was Sherman’s victories in these campaigns that secured Lincoln’s reelection. Sherman accepted the surrender of Joe Johnston’s forces two weeks following Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, the surrender of the last significant Confederate army, effectively ending the conflict.
This beautiful piece is framed in a cherry stained solid wood shadowbox, 12 by 10 inches and 2 and 1/8 inches deep, with a glass face - all made in the USA. It includes the relics as described above.
