MEDINA, NY (09/13/2012)(readMedia)-- Was he a madman or a prophet, a brilliant strategist or a barbaric marauder? Somewhere among those extremes lies the true picture of General William Tecumseh Sherman. Leading the charge in trying to get to the core of exactly who this Civil War hero really is will be Genesee Community College history instructor and historian, Derek Maxfield. Maxfield will share his insights about the man hailed as a Union hero by some and as a barbarian by southerners who reviled his "scorched earth" philosophy of warfare.
