It happened 141 years ago today. Check out This day in the Civil War on this very website if you don't believe me. Yes, Hood burned government facilities as he left town in September but 1.5 months later Sherman finished the job to include all but a few residences and churches that were isolated enough to avoid consumption in the fire.
Go back and read Sherman's memoirs again if you don't believe me, he has an interesting take on his feelings as he watched the town burn.
