William P Sherman: Citizen

By Portage Route Chapter

Although the intent of this book is to put the spotlight on William P. Sherman, it is not the the purpose of this book to do so for his glory. He specifically requrested that any writing undertaken was to influence those who might think favorably of his life's work to follow suit.If he had wanted to create a monument to himself rather than be an almost anonymous philanthropist he had the means and opportunity to do so. Instead he was more interested in the cause than who got credit for getting it done. If he could help he was there to help; if he could motivate others he was there to motivate; if direction was needed he directed.He contributed his skills, services and resources for his family and the welfare of his country, for preservation of our national heritage, the advancement of Western art, and the preservation of the history of the Catholic missionary work in the Pacific Northwest.Those were his causes. If telling about his involvement in them will influence others to do the same, this book will have served its purpose.
