William T. Sherman

[Zuzah]

I'm more than certain that he is wearing a ribbon of mourning for Lincoln, dating this picture to before he was General of the Army (1869), but after the Assassination (1865).

Wonderful! Sherman was sure skinny - see how much room on that little chair? (And I think he gave himself that haircut...) He has a kind of Dickensian look, doesn't he?

Thank god they didn't have electrical razers back then, he'd have been bald, lol.

Love it. Scrappy looking guy. I bet he could have kicked some donkey in a bar fight.

I'd love to see him and Grant, tag-team against a rag-tag crew of bar fighters.

Him and Forrest together would mop the floor with everybody! (Come to think of it, though, Forrest had been known to do that sort of thing all by himself alone...! ) I wouldn't count Grant out at any time, though - he was small but tough.

Grant, Forrest, Sherman, 'Bull' Nelson. I believe we've just put together the best wrestling team that ever existed.

You are correct re the mourning crepe worn on Sherman's left arm.
