The

memoirs

of

this

"

Old

Warrior,"

covering

a

period

from

1846-65,

are

certain

of

a

permanent

place

in

They

furnish

facts

for

the

and

inspiration

for

the

patriot,

and

are

therefore

of

living

interest.

Sheridan

must

rank

as

the

ablest

cavalry

general

of

modern

times,

and

his

career

is

as

romantic

and

interesting

as

it

is

wonderful.

Of

all

our

great

generals,

his

life

was

the

fullest

of

adventures,

and

his

Personal

Memoirs

reads

like

a

work

of

fiction.

For

the

benefit

of

the

military

student,

and

those

who

want

to

enter

into

the

details

of

his

campaigns,

he

has

prepared

statistics

in

the

form

of

notes

and

maps;

but

these

are

so

arranged

as

not

to

interrupt the flow

of

the

story.

His

memoirs

have

the

value

of

an

important

historical

production,

and

the

interest

of

a

great

work

of

fiction. It

is

a

clear,

concise,

graphic,

and

yet

simple

account

of

a

wonder-

ful

life.

The

story

reads

like

though

facts

fast,

and

verifiable.
