Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888) was a career United States Army officer and an aggressive Union general in the American Civil War. He is most famous for his destruction of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, called “The Burning” by its residents. He was also the subject of an extremely popular poem entitled “Sheridan's Ride”, in which he, and his famous horse, Rienzi save the day by arriving just in time for the Battle of Cedar Creek.
