Lisa Landers , if you are looking for newspaper coverage of Sherman's march, you are in luck! It's one of the Topics in Chronicling America, and articles appear to come from newspapers published in both Union and Confederate states. You could add any number of these articles to your album. By the way, Georgia is a word in at least two of the sample titles.
