Letter from William Sherman to Horatio Collins King

Commanding General of the United States Army William Tecumseh Sherman writes Horatio Collins King to discuss the military's political tensions with Congress that exist despite the fact that US Army "Regulars... are surrounded by Indians and dangers of the most unpleasant kind." Sherman, who describes a "war of Congress against our Army," warns King about pending legislation that could "strip our profession of all claim to respect." Transcript included.
