About This Item
1888 1st ed Civil War General Sheridan Personal Memoirs Union Native Americans
"When the battle waged hottest, Sheridan was at his best—cool, exact, self-possessed, the dashing and brilliant leader of men willing to follow him anywhere."
A rare, first edition of the "Personal Memoirs of P.H. Sheridan". General Sheridan is often considered to be one of the foremost Union commanders in the United States (Mullins 82). Sheridan writes of his military service in important Civil War battles as well as his role in the Indian raids and battles. He also writes of his role as the commander of the United States army at the end of his career. These fascinating contents are depicted by the 17 steel engraved plates and 27 maps.
