About the author
Philip Henry Sheridan (1831–1888) was a career United States Army officer and Union general during the American Civil War. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy, he served in the western territories before rising quickly through the Union ranks. Known for his aggressive leadership, he commanded cavalry forces under Ulysses S. Grant and played a major role in the campaigns that led to Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox in 1865.
After the Civil War, Sheridan continued to serve in senior Army positions during the conflicts of westward expansion. He became commanding general of the United States Army in 1883 and was promoted to the rank of general shortly before his death. His Personal Memoirs preserve his perspective on the Civil War, military strategy, and the events that defined his career.
