Second Manassas Expedition Guide Book

Approaching the Chattahoochie River, Sherman referred to it as
"crossing the Rubicon."

"One of the least familiar traits of [Gen. Sherman:] was his firm insistence that he had the gift of 'foreknowledge.' His belief in this power was so strong that he often confided to his wife that he saw the future more clearly than the present. 'I can't help but overlook the present and look ahead,' he confided."

"[Union Brig. Gen. John A. 'Blackjack':] Logan exploited his brief period as commander of the Army of the Tennessee....It provided him with what he considered a strong political base.... He became a candidate for the vice presidency and was widely discussed as a potential occupant of the White House. To boost his fame, [in 1884:] Logan commissioned a group of foreign artists to depict the battle [in which he led the recapture of 20-pounder Parrot guns belonging to the Union:] on a hugh canvas. The work was called 'Logan's Great Battle.' After changing hands several times, it was acquired by the city of Atlanta. Restored and displayed in the Cyclorama, the canvas lauding Logan is perhaps the largest and finest work of art of its sort."
