G. W. Burke Paper, 1895 April 27
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of a photocopy of paper titled "The March to the Sea," read to the George W. Lennard post of the Grand Army of the Republic, New Castle, Indiana, on April 27, 1895, which recounts William T. Sherman's army's march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, September-December 1864. Burke, according to a handwritten inscription at the paper's end, was a member of the 46th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. The paper reads more like a newspaper account than the reminiscence of a private soldier.
