Biography:
Sherman was a Union General during the Civil War. Bon's reference to his "firing [i.e. burning] the house" (103) relates to Sherman's "March to the Sea" through Georgia and the Carolinas near the end of the War, when the destruction he visited upon southern landscape made him infamous in the mind of the South.
