Sherman and Fry clash over Donelson quotation
The North American Review outlines a heated exchange between Gen. Sherman and Gen. James B. Fry over Fry's attributed remark about Smith and Donelson. Sherman seeks proof of Fry's authority, while Fry and Grant partisans deny and defend the quotation, with official correspondence cited from December to January and a later note from Sherman stating his private letter and denial. The piece notes further commentary by Sherman on Fry’s motives and a separate update on Mackey blocking Evansville railroad pool actions.
