LinkedIn Through the Ages: William Tecumseh Sherman

From General Sherman’s LinkedIn profile:

Recommendations for William

“I highly recommend Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, whose brilliant executive abilities helped me defeat the Confederacy. His “scorched earth” policy established new benchmarks for effective warfare, tearing through the countryside with no distinction between military and civilian opponents. I am also impressed that he has three full names rather than just a middle initial.” March 22, 1870

-- was with another company when he worked with William in the Union Army
