About this book

In 1864, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman led sixty thousand troops through Georgia toward the sea, then continued into the Carolinas. The army engaged Confederate forces, destroyed cities, and was followed by a growing population of freed blacks and white refugees. This accumulating group created a transient existence of displaced people alongside the advancing military force. Doctorow transforms this historical march into a floating world and nomadic consciousness, presenting the event as an unforgettable reading experience with relevance to contemporary times.
