Philip Henry Sheridan 
Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, General, United States Army — Volume 1 

pub One.info present you this new edition. When, yielding to the solicitations of my friends, I finally decided to write these Memoirs, the greatest difficulty which confronted me was that of recounting my share in the many notable events of the last three decades, in which I played a part, without entering too fully into the history of these years, and at the same time without giving to my own acts an unmerited prominence. To what extent I have overcome this difficulty I must leave the reader to judge.
