1888 1st ed Civil War General Sheridan Sherman Memoirs Union Native Americans



Two first-edition volumes of personal memoirs from prominent Union Army commanders, detailing first-hand accounts of the American Civil War! This lot includes the first volume of the “Personal Memoirs of Gen. W.T. Sherman”, and the second volume of the “Personal Memoirs of P.H. Sheridan”.



William Tecumseh Sherman was 19th-century American military officer, known for his service as a Union Army general during the Civil War. His memoirs are filled with military tactics and strategy, accounts of army marches, battles, encounters with Confederate authorities, and most importantly, Sherman’s own attitude toward war; they have also been recognized as the best of all personal war memoirs! (Larned).



General Sheridan is often considered to be one of the foremost Union commanders in the United States (Mullins 82). Sheridan writes of his military service in important Civil War battles as well as his role in the Indian raids and battles. He also writes of his role as the commander of the United States army at the end of his career.



These fascinating contents are depicted by the numerous steel engraved plates and maps.
