His wiki page has basically anyone and everyone who has written about him. Not much IS written because he left no memoir nor wrote an autobiography like basically everyone else we’ve ever heard of from the civil war. He was a great friend to old William Tecumseh himself, and didn’t want to be written about in his lifetime. He viewed what he did as a duty, not any cause for celebration. Sherman’s march would have been impossible without Thomas’ successes in the west.
Can you recommend any good reading on the subject?

This is the most I learned about him.
