Where is Sherman?

[121st PA Vols]

Why is there no forum for Sherman? I couldn't find much under Shiloh, Trans-Miss, People and Personalities, etc. It can't be that there are forums for personalities including Longstreet, Stonewall and Forrest and not for the individual who was one of the prime architects of the Union victory. Have I missed something on the website?

In "Browse Forums", go to "People & Personalities of the Civil War." Choose "Famous People of the Late Unpleasantness." In "Filter", click on the blue "Sherman" button and you will get all threads which were tagged with his name (alone or with other tags). No, that's not the same as having his own forum, and not all threads are tagged correctly, but it's how you can most easily find the most threads concerning him. I hope this helps.

Thank you Library Lady. That helps a lot. What impressed me going through the links you provided was the HUGE number of people (thousands) that are interested in Sherman by way of their views and remarks. Yet there is no forum for the man.
We're talking about a man who played one of the most significant roles in the greatest drama in American history. Yet no forum.
How can lesser lights like Longstreet, Stonewall and Forrest have forums and this man does not? I'm sure there are bigger fish to fry but that will always be puzzling.

It wouldn't hurt to put in a request to Management and to volunteer to be the host. You can contact staff in the "Headquarters" section. If you do, please be patient. Sometimes it takes awhile to get a response. I'm thinking "Management" may still have a day job.

I wish circumstance allowed for that as life finds me bouncing between responsibilities of some weight. Will say while I'm disappointed a great and unique American like Sherman does not have his own forum, I am grateful to the owners and management team that have done what they've done in such a fine way.
