I HAD to check into this, so I went to my old pal Google. I found a partial NPR interview with Doctorow about "The March". In it, the writer said he read both Sherman's memoirs and Grant's. He praised their excellent writing ability.  THe interview is not complete so I don't know what else he did to study the culture and life of the times.
