Dear Mr. Miller,
I write to correct one minor error in your worthwhile article. Namely that “On March 19, 1862, famous General William Tecumsch Sherman arrived in Jacksonville to evaluate the situation.” Although my memory has somewhat faded with time, as I recall the event, it was General Thomas West Sherman, not General William Tecumseh Sherman who arrived in Jacksonville to evaluate the situation.
Sincerely,
Dean S. Bird

I really enjoy the history pages of your “Observer”. My family has
deep roots in Jacksonville and Saint Augustine with the families
surnamed Mott, Allen, McKeithen and Sims. Keep it coming!
