DescriptionSheridan's two autobiographical volumes explored life in the United States before, during and after the 'War of Rebellion.' Sheridan was born to immigrant Irish parents who moved with the westward bound population settling in Ohio. Sheridan traveled extensively during his schooling and his career in the U.S. Army. The campaigns of the Civil War are covered as is his participation in the Indian wars during the movement west of the U.S. population. Sheridan was known as 'ruthless' but he did not see himself in this light.
