America’s Civil War: November 1999 From the EditorArchives | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Sherman continued to mourn Willy for the rest of his life. On the March to the Sea, a year after Willy’s death, Sherman paused long enough to write his wife that “to see [Willy's] full eyes dilate and brighten when he learned that his Papa was a great general would be to me now more grateful than the clamor of the millions. He seemed to know me better than anybody else, and realized the truth that if I labored it was his. He knew that all I had was for him, whether of money or property or fame.” Subscribe Today
One year before his own death in February 1891, Sherman left detailed instructions for his eventual burial. He wanted to be buried in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis, he declared, “alongside my faithful wife and idolized ‘SOLDIER BOY.’” In death, General Sherman and his “little sergeant” were united again.
