History is more interesting when told by those who experienced it. Philip Henry Sheridan was a Union general who served in both the Western and Eastern theaters during the American Civil War. He was instrumental in defeating Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley and helping force the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox. In later years he fought in Indian wars and served as Commanding General, U.S. Army. Sheridan's memoirs were originally published in 1888, the year that he passed away. Originally printed in two volumes, Alacrity Press is proud to republish the Memoirs of General P. H. Sheridan, Complete as a single volume.
