Magic realism is a narrative technique and not a genre and can be applied to many types of realist literature, but it is most commonly found within literary fiction. Magic realism is not fantasy fiction, as it is grounded by real-world settings, with realistic plots and authentic characters.

First published in 1875, General William T. Sherman's memoir was one of the first from the Civil War and was offered to the public because, as Sherman wrote in his dedication, "no satisfactory history" of the war was yet available.
