The second volume of a stunning collection of autobiographies, this volume containing William Tecumseh Sherman's memoir; from the library of Philemon Tecumseh Sherman. Octodecimo, original red cloth, frontispiece portrait of Ulysses S. Grant. P. T. Sherman's bookplate to the front pastedown. In very good condition. In 1908, upon completing work on 'Little Masterpieces of Autobiography,' Iles sent Philemon Tecumseh Sherman the entire set of works as thanks for Sherman's permission to reprint from his father's memoirs.
General William Tecumseh Sherman's son, Philemon Tecumseh Sherman, transferred his library and books inherited from his father to his niece, Eleanor Sherman Fitch, the granddaughter of General Sherman through his eldest daughter, Maria “Minnie” Ewing Sherman Fitch, before he died. Until now, this book was held at the family estate in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
