Union General William T. Sherman noted as the first "modern general," used fear and terror to bring the support for the confederacy to a halt among southerners by his utter destruction of Atlanta and brutal march to the sea. Sherman led 60,000 men on a 200 mile wide march from Atlanta to Savannah destroying everything in his path. When asked to run for President he replied, "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve."
Also noted for the quote, "War is hell."

I believe this one of the best Portraits of the General that I have seen.. You have captured the very Warrior Spirit of the great man. If only we had men like him today.. This Portrait was painted from beyond this mortal life and you were picked to put it on canvas.
