Bishop Polk Death Reveals Sherman Memoir Errors
The letter writer asserts Sherman did not witness the Pine Mountain firing and that Howard and staff misstate events. He describes the June 4 scene with Howard, Stanley, and Simonson, the fatal shot by a Confederate battery, and the confirmation that Bishop Polk was killed as the gun flashed. The account preserves names and sequence while countering Sherman’s reported involvement. It also notes minor local items and jokes from Indiana papers.
