When the General feels drowsy he will set his controls, set the clock for ten minutes and doze off. At ten minutes the siren will howl, the tank will squirt cold water in the General's face.

The generous terms Sherman gave Johnston (at the conference they were soon "Cump" and "Joe") raised a howl in the North, changed Sherman overnight from a byword to a hissing. But by the time of the Grand Army review in Washington they were cheering him again. The review took two days: the Army of the Potomac first, then the Army of the West.
