About This Item
Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1882. A Near Fine Hardcover. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
Half pebbled leather with matching in color cloth; spine titles in gilt with black lined divisions. Marbled endpages with matching textblock. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. Text is clean with appropriate age-toning. 8vo; 9 inches tall; 111 pages of text followed by blank pages presumed to give the spine room for the titles. A very handsome rebinding. Graff records an edition prior to this in Chicago in 1882.. Compiled from official reports describing over 400 engagements in chronological order, including a lengthy description of the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
After the US Civil War Sheridan reported to the Gulf of Mexico, where his presence along the Texas border hastened the fall of Maximilian, the French puppet emperor in Mexico, in 1867.
He was later named military commander of Louisiana and Texas (1867), but his harsh administration of Reconstruction measures led to his removal soon thereafter by President Andrew Johnson.
He spent the remaining years until 1883 in Western command. He planned and conducted a successful Indian campaign (1868-69), after which he was promoted to lieutenant general. He became general-in-chief of the army in 1883 and five years later was commissioned as general of the army of the United States.
He spent his last month's writing his memoirs.
