His Military Journal is available online from the University of Michigan. <br />After the Revolution George led the push west to the Ohio Valley. One of his sons Thomas Ewing later became Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of the Treasury and even adopted a young boy Tecumsh Sherman who was rebaptised and given the Christian name “William” by Thomas Ewing’s wife. Thomas and subsequent writings about the influence of the Ewing family on Sherman’s development hold other great and poetic stories that tell of this family that influenced this nation from the beginning and through the darkness of the Civil War.

Fascist doublespeak aside, I find it funny that a nation founded by those who refused to be "loyal" now has a day to remember they're supposed to be loyal (to another George, I might add).Robert S.
