LETTERS OF COMMENDATION FROM PROMINENT MILITARY MEN.
GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN.
The following letter was received with a photograph of the hero of “The March to the Sea,” Gen. W. T. Sherman:
New York, December 25, 1886.
To Col. William Cody:
With the best compliments of one who in 1886 was guided by him up the Republican, then occupied by the Cheyennes and Arapahoes as their ancestral hunting-grounds; now transformed into farms and cattle ranches, in better harmony with civilization, and with his best wishes that he succeed in his honorable efforts to represent the scenes of that day to a generation then unborn.
W. T. Sherman, General.
