Book Description

In November 1864 William T. Sherman burned Atlanta and took an army of eighty thousand hardened Union veterans on a campaign that crushed the heart of the Confederacy. When he reached Savannah a month later, an ugly scar three hundred miles long and sixty miles wide had been burned across Georgia. Along the way the armies had destroyed factories, mills, and agricultural produce. Thousands of civilians—mostly women, children, and the elderly—had been left hungry and destitute.

To the Sea captures every aspect of the March, from Sherman's strategy to the brilliant methods he used to execute it. Here readers travel from Atlanta to Savannah on a journey in which soldiers and civilians, heroes and opportunists, men and women alike fought for their lives. Included is a series of driving tours that enable readers to see firsthand the path the armies took.

In addition to the lively history of the march, To the Sea includes more than one hundred photographs, maps, fascinating tours of the routes, sidebar articles on military strategy and biographical sketches of generals as well as a chronology of important events, sources for additional travel information, an index, and a bibliography. HISTORY; CIVIL WAR ILLUSTRATED; PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAPS 8” X 10”, 336 PAGES PAPERBACK

Great book.......2003-04-21

Miles has done a great job with this book. He includes countless examples, both good and bad, of encounters between Yankee soldiers and the people of Georgia. If you want to know more about the personal side of the March, as well as the dates and places, this is certainly the book for you.
A teacher could easily use "To the Sea" as a text for a course in the March alone. The margins are wide to provide plenty of room to write notes. Thank you Jim Miles!! I will not hesitate to buy another book by this author.

Solid Account & Tour Guide of Sherman's March.......2005-11-08

In November, 1864, William Tecumseh Sherman and 60,000 of his finest veterans, divided among the Army of Georgia (XIV Corps and XX Corps) and the Army of the Tennessee, set off from Atlanta for Savannah, Georgia and the Atlantic Ocean. Over the course of the next six weeks, Sherman and his men foraged off of the land liberally, committing some atrocities along the way. Just how many atrocities these men committed and the gravity of the situation seems to fluctuate the farther north or south of the Mason-Dixon line you go, so I'll leave it at that. Savannah was captured in late December, and the next Spring Sherman marched north through the Carolinas. South Carolina was ravaged as Sherman's men wreaked havoc on the state they believed had caused the war. Columbia, South Carolina was almost wholly burned in an extremely controversial event. The book ends with a description of the battles in North Carolina, especially Bentonville, and Johnston's surrender to Sherman at Bennett Place in late April 1865. The books in Jim Miles' series are intended to provide a solid introduction to the information while also providing solid information for potential tours of these campaigns. Miles succeeds in this with To The Sea. As I mentioned above, Sherman's March is a very controversial topic, and Miles does a good job of providing the reader with a non-biased introduction. The reader may wish to pursue some of these controversies, especially the burning of Columbia, South Carolina, by referring to other more detailed studies. The maps of the campaign are sub-par, but I do not mind this too much because the book is not meant to be a detailed description of the entire March. There are no notes, which I'm never fond of. You have no way of finding out where Miles got his information and on what specifically he bases his conclusions. All in all, this is a decent book to get if you are new to these events. It provides the starting point for tours of these places, and should lead those interested into further study of the material.

comprehensive and enjoyable .......2005-10-30

If you enjoy reading about history and visiting the site this is an excellent book. The history and the tour guide are designed to provide an enjoyable and informative experience. Sherman's March is a subject fraught with controversy and still generates strong feelings over 140 years after the fact. Jim Miles faces this and provides a well balanced "warts n all" history of The March. He shows what was done well and what wasn't and the reasons that things happened that way. In doing this, the reader is given an excellent extended introduction to the subject.

This is a comprehensive and enjoyable book. It will work well for the serious student or someone who wants information but not be overwhelmed by it. The driving tour follows the route and provides you with current conditions and locations. Keep in mind that the "current conditions" were when the author was working on the book. The Atlanta Savannah area is growing. This book is part of the history of preservation and what we have lost.

Why read about history when you can see it?.......2002-09-28

Jim Miles, a wonderful author who can captivate you in his subjects, wrote this criminally out of print book in an attempt to have average readers, like myself, experience the drama of Sherman's march to the sea first hand.

Outside of his outstanding narrative are illustrations, both contemporary and modern that show the reader what to look for in a riding tour of Sherman's March to Sea.

The march itself was not just one straight line starting from the capture and (somewhat accidental) burning of most of the City of Atlanta, Georgia, to the capture and evacuation of Savannah and the destruction of what little of the Confederacy's fleet was in its port.

The two lines of march, the left wing and the right wing are both followed accurately and with great detail.

Worth getting, if you can find it.

the BEST field guide for Illinois birds! love all his field guides!.......2007-10-11

I love this book! So easy to use! You can find the bird you see easily (by color), and Stan gives you exactly the tip you need to tell which bird it is! Plus interesting facts about each bird, and where you are likely to see them, and what they are likely to be doing. And beautiful, clear photos! This is the first of his field guides that I ever bought. I bought several others. I love them all! His field guides really work!

Got a birdfeeder - get this book.......2007-06-04

Like all of the other reviews, I find this book the easiest to use when trying to identify new birds who come to our feeder. One other thing I love about it - it tells what the birds like to eat! So can stock my feeder appropriately.

This book was great. My partner and I were having a little bet on what bird we had seen in our backyard. This book has it all for those of you who love to birdwatch anywhere.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the birds in their Illinois backyard. We have learned so much about the birds that come to our feeders. Our children, ages 6 and 2, are now very interested in the types of birds that are in our backyard. Excellent buy!

A genuine classic.......2001-09-18

Population Ecology of the Bobwhite is the best technical treatise on bobwhites that has been written. The book provides a thorough and scholarly exposition of basic life history and management as well as a detailed, cutting-edge analysis of populations dynamics and harvest management. When I like books a lot, the books are highlighted, underlined, starred, and exclamation-pointed. My copy of Roseberry and Klimstra's book is a mess, but that's because it contains so much useful information that I have flagged in one way or another.

Its OK, but there's a better guide available........2006-05-04

These Pocket Naturalist field cards are a great help in identification of birds; however, they have a significant drawback: there is usually only one illustration provided for each species and its the male. In many species, the male and female are fairly different, so if you happen to be looking at a female Goldfinch, you will likely not be able to identify it as such because the Guide only shows the male (he's bright yellow, she's dullish yellow-green and much more nondescript).

I like the Pocket Naturalist for its small size and very little weight. Perfect for tucking in my knapsack while hiking or boating. HOWEVER, instead of purchasing the Pocket Naturalist guide, I would recommend that you check out the Peterson's FlashGuides series. Peterson's provides male and female illustrations and makes identification much easier with greater liklihood of success. There are several different versions of the FlashGuides for birds based on region, just like these Pocket Naturalist guides. Peterson's costs a little more, weighs a little more and folds out larger than the Pocket Naturalist (a drawback as its kind of hard to handle in the wind), but it is the better of the two products.
