Sherman led 60,000 soldiers from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, in what historians call the March to the Sea or the Savannah Campaign. The march that ran from Nov. 15 to Dec. 21, was done without supply lines for the troops, said Steve Reggentin, who will give a lecture about the march at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 23, the Park City Museum. “It was Sherman’s idea to take off with no supply line,” Reggentin told The Park Record. “He had to convince Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant that he could pull this off, but he knew he could.” Sherman took 60,000 soldiers, of which 55,000 were infantry and 5,000 were Calvary. “He only took those who were fit,” Reggentin said. “Sherman also took the 14,000 of his best horses, the sturdiest wagons and 600 ambulances, which he really didn’t need, because at the end, there weren’t a lot of casualties.” The march was done in two stages. The first stage was defeating Confederate General John B. Hood in Atlanta, on Sept. 2. After Hood abandoned Atlanta and moved his troops to Tennessee, Sherman wanted to continue south, because the Confederate army strongholds were scattered. “Sherman and his troops took a two week break in Atlanta,” Reggentin said. “Grant wanted to pull them up to help with fighting [General Robert E.] Lee’s Confederacy troops in Virginia, but Sherman wanted to continue into South Carolina.” Reggentin will expand on Sherman’s March as well as the YOU Volunteer opportunities are in every issue of The Park Record and a complete list can be found online at Parkrecord.com/volunteers Courtesy of Wikipedia Union Major General William T.

Reggentin will also talk more about Sherman. “He, of course, was an interesting character,” Reggentin said. “He went to West Point when he was 16 years old and finished fourth in his class, in spite of the fact that he had a 150 demerits in one year. It was my understanding that he liked to go to town and bend his elbows a little bit. “The interesting about Sherman was that he hated war. He just wanted it to be over.” Reggentin, a part-time Parkite from Saddlebrook, Arizona, has always been interested in history. “All my classmates were bored to tears when I was in school, but I was fascinated by Please see Reggentin, C-8 The New York Times crossword puzzle ACROSS 1 Bit of a Bollywood soundtrack 5 Hawaiian giveaway 8 Home of van Gogh’s “The Starry Night,” informally 12 Walgreens competitor 19 Greek warrior of myth 20 Person from Calgary or Edmonton 22 Source of material for a baseball bat 23 Magic trick performed at 78Down 25 Company accountant’s responsibility 26 Concern for wheat farmers 27 Nickname for an Oxford university 29 Puzzle-loving group 30 Sugar found in beer 34 Mouselike rodents 36 Sometimes-stinky pair 39 Adds to 43 Agcy. that cares what airs 46 Mauna ____ 47 Magic trick performed at 119-Across and 104-Down 49 Burden for Jack and Jill 50 Female org. since the 1850s 52 Lee of Marvel Comics 53 Pals around (with) 54 Coca-Cola brand 55 ____ duck (Chinese entree) 57 “Carmina Burana” composer Carl 59 Grant-making org. 60 Like most doors 61 Followed closely, as a set of rules 63 Zest source 65 Feudal vassal 67 Magic trick performed at 123and 124-Across 71 Word repeated before “everywhere” 72 Online “Very funny!” 73 Basic gymnastics flips 76 Comic Aziz of “Master of None” 79 “Is that true about me?” 81 Movies with big budgets and no audience 83 At the proper moment 84 Simple percussion instrument 85 Greenish-blue hues 87 Musical based on Fellini’s “81/2” 89 Ready to take part 90 Escape maker 91 Magic trick performed at 55-Across 94 Blue, on some maps: Abbr. 95 Onetime White House nickname 96 Apt anagram of IS A CHARM 97 Eight-line poems 99 Hullabaloo 100 Four-string instrument 102 Kind of jar 105 Crisp fabric 109 Tequila source 113 “Whenever you want” 115 Magic trick performed at 15-, 16and 17-Down 119 Skinny sort 120 Hydrogen has one THE MAGIC SHOW 1 2 3 By Eric Berlin / Edited by Will Shortz 4 5 19 6 7 20 23 37 31 32 12 51 40 41 42 43 44 45 63 78 79 64 65 Coolest plaCe in park City!
