Sheridan","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eGeneral Philip Henry Sheridan  (1831-1888) was the most important Union cavalry commander of the Civil  War, and ranks as one of America's greatest horse soldiers. From Corinth  through Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, he made himself a reputation  for courage and efficiency; after his defeat of J.E.B. Stuart's rebel  cavalry, Grant named him commander of the Union forces in the Shenandoah  Valley. There he laid waste to the entire region, and his victory over  Jubal Early's troops in the Battle of Cedar Creek brought him worldwide  renown and a promotion to major general in the regular army. It was  Sheridan who cut off Lee's retreat at Appomattox, thus securing the  surrender of the Confederate Army. Subsequent to the Civil War, Sheridan  was active in the 1868 war with the Comanches and Cheyennes, where he  won infamy with his statement that the only good Indians I ever saw were  dead. In 1888 he published his \u003ci\u003ePersonal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan,\u003c\/i\u003e one  of the best first-hand accounts of the Civil War and the Indian wars  which followed.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42278514884786,"sku":"9780306804878","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/7418\/0786\/files\/missing-cover_14846d9f-46e2-4345-95ee-87fe210fc4e8.jpg?v=1741617056","url":"https:\/\/shop.hachettebookgroup.com\/products\/the-personal-memoirs-of-p-h-sheridan","provider":"Hachette Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
